matplotlib.patches.Shadow

class matplotlib.patches.Shadow(patch, ox, oy, props=None, **kwargs)

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch

Create a shadow of the given patch offset by ox, oy. props, if not None, is a patch property update dictionary. If None, the shadow will have have the same color as the face, but darkened.

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

draw(renderer)

Draw the Patch to the given renderer.

get_patch_transform()

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()

Return the path of this patch
