<h2><a class="reference internal" href="#module-matplotlib.path" title="matplotlib.path"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal">matplotlib.path</code></a><a class="headerlink" href="#module-matplotlib.path" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

A module for dealing with the polylines used throughout matplotlib.

The primary class for polyline handling in matplotlib is <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path" title="matplotlib.path.Path"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">Path</code></a>.

Almost all vector drawing makes use of Paths somewhere in the drawing

pipeline.

Whilst a <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path" title="matplotlib.path.Path"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">Path</code></a> instance itself cannot be drawn, there exists

<a class="reference internal" href="artist_api.html#matplotlib.artist.Artist" title="matplotlib.artist.Artist"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">Artist</code></a> subclasses which can be used for

convenient Path visualisation - the two most frequently used of these are

<a class="reference internal" href="_as_gen/matplotlib.patches.PathPatch.html#matplotlib.patches.PathPatch" title="matplotlib.patches.PathPatch"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">PathPatch</code></a> and

<a class="reference internal" href="collections_api.html#matplotlib.collections.PathCollection" title="matplotlib.collections.PathCollection"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">PathCollection</code></a>.

class <code class="descclassname">matplotlib.path.</code><code class="descname">Path</code>(vertices, codes=None, _interpolation_steps=1, closed=False, readonly=False)<a class="headerlink" href="#matplotlib.path.Path" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>

<dd>Bases: <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#object" title="(in Python v3.6)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">object</code></a>

<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path" title="matplotlib.path.Path"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">Path</code></a> represents a series of possibly disconnected,

possibly closed, line and curve segments.

<dt>The underlying storage is made up of two parallel numpy arrays:</dt>

<li>vertices: an Nx2 float array of vertices</li>

<li>codes: an N-length uint8 array of vertex types</li>

</ul>

</dd>

</dl>

These two arrays always have the same length in the first

dimension. For example, to represent a cubic curve, you must

provide three vertices as well as three codes <code class="docutils literal">CURVE3</code>.

The code types are:

<dt><code class="docutils literal">STOP</code> : 1 vertex (ignored)</dt>

<dd>A marker for the end of the entire path (currently not

required and ignored)</dd>

</dl>

</li>

<dt><code class="docutils literal">MOVETO</code> : 1 vertex</dt>

<dd>Pick up the pen and move to the given vertex.</dd>

</dl>

</li>

<dt><code class="docutils literal">LINETO</code> : 1 vertex</dt>

<dd>Draw a line from the current position to the given vertex.</dd>

</dl>

</li>

<dt><code class="docutils literal">CURVE3</code> : 1 control point, 1 endpoint</dt>

<dd>Draw a quadratic Bezier curve from the current position,

with the given control point, to the given end point.</dd>

</dl>

</li>

<dt><code class="docutils literal">CURVE4</code> : 2 control points, 1 endpoint</dt>

<dd>Draw a cubic Bezier curve from the current position, with

the given control points, to the given end point.</dd>

</dl>

</li>

<dt><code class="docutils literal">CLOSEPOLY</code> : 1 vertex (ignored)</dt>

<dd>Draw a line segment to the start point of the current

polyline.</dd>

</dl>

</li>

</ul>

</div></blockquote>

Users of Path objects should not access the vertices and codes

arrays directly. Instead, they should use <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path.iter_segments" title="matplotlib.path.Path.iter_segments"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">iter_segments()</code></a>

or <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path.cleaned" title="matplotlib.path.Path.cleaned"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">cleaned()</code></a> to get the vertex/code pairs. This is important,

since many <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path" title="matplotlib.path.Path"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal">Path</code></a> objects, as an optimization, do not store a

codes at all, but have a default one provided for them by

<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.path.Path.iter_segments" title="matplotlib.path.Path.iter_segments"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal">iter_segments()</code></a>.

Some behavior of Path objects can be controlled by rcParams. See

the rcParams whose keys contain ‘path.’.

Note

The vertices and codes arrays should be treated as

immutable – there are a number of optimizations and assumptions

made up front in the constructor that will not change when the

data changes.

</div>

Create a new path with the given vertices and codes.

<tr class="field-odd field"><th class="field-name">Parameters:</th><td class="field-body">vertices : array_like

<div>The <code class="docutils literal">(n, 2)</code> float array, masked array or sequence of pairs

</div></blockquote>

codes : {None, array_like}, optional

<div>n-length array integers representing the codes of the path.

If not None, codes must be the same length as vertices.

If None, vertices will be treated as a series of line segments.

</div></blockquote>

_interpolation_steps : int, optional

<div>Used as a hint to certain projections, such as Polar, that this

path should be linearly interpolated immediately before drawing.

intended for public use.

<div>If codes is None and closed is True, vertices will be treated as

determined based on the delta between theta1 and theta2.

The circle is approximated using cubic Bezier curves. This

uses 8 splines around the circle using the approach presented

here:
