matplotlib.patches Classes  

Arc(xy, width, height[, angle, theta1, theta2]) An elliptical arc, i.e. a segment of an ellipse.  

Arrow(x, y, dx, dy[, width]) An arrow patch.  

ArrowStyle(stylename, **kw) 
ArrowStyle is a container class which defines several arrowstyle classes, which is used to create an arrow path along a given path.  

BoxStyle(stylename, **kw) 
BoxStyle is a container class which defines several boxstyle classes, which are used for FancyBboxPatch.  

Circle(xy[, radius]) A circle patch.  

CirclePolygon(xy[, radius, resolution]) A polygon-approximation of a circle patch.  

ConnectionPatch(xyA, xyB, coordsA[, ...]) A patch that connects two points (possibly in different axes).  

ConnectionStyle(stylename, **kw) 
ConnectionStyle is a container class which defines several connectionstyle classes, which is used to create a path between two points.  

Ellipse(xy, width, height[, angle]) A scale-free ellipse.  

FancyArrow(x, y, dx, dy[, width, ...]) Like Arrow, but lets you set head width and head height independently.  

FancyArrowPatch([posA, posB, path, ...]) A fancy arrow patch.  

FancyBboxPatch(xy, width, height[, ...]) A fancy box around a rectangle with lower left at xy = (x, y) with specified width and height.  

Patch([edgecolor, facecolor, color, ...]) A patch is a 2D artist with a face color and an edge color.  

PathPatch(path, **kwargs) A general polycurve path patch.  

StepPatch(values, edges, *[, orientation, ...]) A path patch describing a stepwise constant function.  

Polygon(xy[, closed]) A general polygon patch.  

Rectangle(xy, width, height[, angle]) A rectangle defined via an anchor point xy and its width and height.  

RegularPolygon(xy, numVertices[, radius, ...]) A regular polygon patch.  

Shadow(patch, ox, oy[, props]) Create a shadow of the given patch.  

Wedge(center, r, theta1, theta2[, width]) Wedge shaped patch.   Functions  

bbox_artist(artist, renderer[, props, fill]) A debug function to draw a rectangle around the bounding box returned by an artist's Artist.get_window_extent to test whether the artist is returning the correct bbox.  

draw_bbox(bbox, renderer[, color, trans]) A debug function to draw a rectangle around the bounding box returned by an artist's Artist.get_window_extent to test whether the artist is returning the correct bbox.
