matplotlib.patches.Rectangle

class matplotlib.patches.Rectangle(xy, width, height, angle=0.0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

Draw a rectangle with lower left at xy = (x, y) with specified width, height and rotation angle.

Parameters:
xy : (float, float)

The bottom and left rectangle coordinates

width : float

Rectangle width

height : float

Rectangle height

angle : float, optional

rotation in degrees anti-clockwise about xy (default is 0.0)

fill : bool, optional

Whether to fill the rectangle (default is True)

Notes

Valid kwargs are:

Property Description
agg_filter a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array
alpha float or None
animated bool
antialiased unknown
capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'}
clip_box Bbox
clip_on bool
clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None]
color color
contains callable
edgecolor color or None or 'auto'
facecolor color or None
figure Figure
fill bool
gid str
hatch {'/', '\', '|', '-', '+', 'x', 'o', 'O', '.', '*'}
in_layout bool
joinstyle {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'}
label object
linestyle {'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...}
linewidth float or None for default
path_effects AbstractPathEffect
picker None or bool or float or callable
rasterized bool or None
sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float)
snap bool or None
transform Transform
url str
visible bool
zorder float
get_bbox()[source]
get_height()[source]

Return the height of the rectangle.

get_patch_transform()[source]

Return the Transform instance which takes patch coordinates to data coordinates.

For example, one may define a patch of a circle which represents a radius of 5 by providing coordinates for a unit circle, and a transform which scales the coordinates (the patch coordinate) by 5.

get_path()[source]

Return the vertices of the rectangle.

get_width()[source]

Return the width of the rectangle.

get_x()[source]

Return the left coord of the rectangle.

get_xy()[source]

Return the left and bottom coords of the rectangle.

get_y()[source]

Return the bottom coord of the rectangle.

set_bounds(*args)[source]

Set the bounds of the rectangle: l,b,w,h

ACCEPTS: (left, bottom, width, height)

set_height(h)[source]

Set the height of the rectangle.

set_width(w)[source]

Set the width of the rectangle.

set_x(x)[source]

Set the left coord of the rectangle.

set_xy(xy)[source]

Set the left and bottom coords of the rectangle.

Parameters:
xy : (float, float)
set_y(y)[source]

Set the bottom coord of the rectangle.

xy

Return the left and bottom coords of the rectangle.
