matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle

class matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Style

BoxStyle is a container class which defines several boxstyle classes, which are used for FancyBboxPatch.

A style object can be created as:

BoxStyle.Round(pad=0.2)

or:

BoxStyle("Round", pad=0.2)

or:

BoxStyle("Round, pad=0.2")

Following boxstyle classes are defined.

Class Name Attrs
Circle circle pad=0.3
DArrow darrow pad=0.3
LArrow larrow pad=0.3
RArrow rarrow pad=0.3
Round round pad=0.3, rounding_size=None
Round4 round4 pad=0.3, rounding_size=None
Roundtooth roundtooth pad=0.3, tooth_size=None
Sawtooth sawtooth pad=0.3, tooth_size=None
Square square pad=0.3

An instance of any boxstyle class is an callable object, whose call signature is:

__call__(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size, aspect_ratio=1.)

and returns a Path instance. x0, y0, width and height specify the location and size of the box to be drawn. mutation_scale determines the overall size of the mutation (by which I mean the transformation of the rectangle to the fancy box). mutation_aspect determines the aspect-ratio of the mutation.

return the instance of the subclass with the given style name.

class Circle(pad=0.3) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

A simple circle box.

Parameters:
pad : float

The amount of padding around the original box.

transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class DArrow(pad=0.3) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

(Double) Arrow Box

transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class LArrow(pad=0.3) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

(left) Arrow Box

transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class RArrow(pad=0.3) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.LArrow

(right) Arrow Box

transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class Round(pad=0.3, rounding_size=None) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

A box with round corners.

pad
amount of padding
rounding_size
rounding radius of corners. pad if None
transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class Round4(pad=0.3, rounding_size=None) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

Another box with round edges.

pad
amount of padding
rounding_size
rounding size of edges. pad if None
transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class Roundtooth(pad=0.3, tooth_size=None) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches.Sawtooth

A rounded tooth box.

pad
amount of padding
tooth_size
size of the sawtooth. pad* if None
transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class Sawtooth(pad=0.3, tooth_size=None) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

A sawtooth box.

pad
amount of padding
tooth_size
size of the sawtooth. pad* if None
transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.

class Square(pad=0.3) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Base

A simple square box.

pad
amount of padding
transmute(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size) [source]

The transmute method is a very core of the BboxTransmuter class and must be overridden in the subclasses. It receives the location and size of the rectangle, and the mutation_size, with which the amount of padding and etc. will be scaled. It returns a Path instance.
