Change spacing of dashes in dashed line in matplotlib
Question: In Python, using matplotlib, is there a way to change the distance of the
dashes for different linestyles, for example, using the following command:

    
    
    plt.plot(x,y,linestyle='--')
    


Answer: You can directly specify the dashes length/space using the `dashes=(length,
interval space)` argument inside the plot command.

    
    
        import matplotlib.pyplot as pet
    
        fig,ax = plt.subplots()
        ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], linestyle='--', dashes=(5, 1)) #length of 5, space of 1
        ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 2], linestyle='--', dashes=(5, 5)) #length of 5, space of 5
        ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 3], linestyle='--', dashes=(5, 10)) #length of 5, space of 10
        ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 4], linestyle='--', dashes=(5, 20)) #length of 5, space of 20
