matplotlib.markers.MarkerStyle#

class matplotlib.markers.MarkerStyle(marker, fillstyle=None, transform=None, capstyle=None, joinstyle=None)[source]#

Bases: object

A class representing marker types.

Instances are immutable. If you need to change anything, create a new instance.

Attributes:

markersdict

All known markers.

filled_markerstuple

All known filled markers. This is a subset of markers.

fillstylestuple

The supported fillstyles.

Parameters:

markerstr, array-like, Path, MarkerStyle

• Another instance of MarkerStyle copies the details of that marker.

• For other possible marker values, see the module docstring matplotlib.markers.

fillstylestr, default: rcParams["markers.fillstyle"] (default: 'full')

One of 'full', 'left', 'right', 'bottom', 'top', 'none'.

transformTransform, optional

Transform that will be combined with the native transform of the marker.

capstyleCapStyle or %(CapStyle)s, optional

Cap style that will override the default cap style of the marker.

joinstyleJoinStyle or %(JoinStyle)s, optional

Join style that will override the default join style of the marker.

filled_markers = ('.', 'o', 'v', '^', '<', '>', '8', 's', 'p', '*', 'h', 'H', 'D', 'd', 'P', 'X')#

fillstyles = ('full', 'left', 'right', 'bottom', 'top', 'none')#

get_alt_path()[source]#

Return a Path for the alternate part of the marker.

For unfilled markers, this is None; for filled markers, this is the area to be drawn with markerfacecoloralt.

get_alt_transform()[source]#

Return the transform to be applied to the Path from MarkerStyle.get_alt_path().

get_capstyle()[source]#

get_fillstyle()[source]#

get_joinstyle()[source]#

get_marker()[source]#

get_path()[source]#

Return a Path for the primary part of the marker.

For unfilled markers this is the whole marker, for filled markers, this is the area to be drawn with markerfacecolor.

get_snap_threshold()[source]#

get_transform()[source]#

Return the transform to be applied to the Path from MarkerStyle.get_path().

get_user_transform()[source]#

Return user supplied part of marker transform.

rotated(*, deg=None, rad=None)[source]#

Return a new version of this marker rotated by specified angle.

Parameters:

degfloat, optional

Rotation angle in degrees.

radfloat, optional

Rotation angle in radians.

.. note:: You must specify exactly one of deg or rad.

scaled(sx, sy=None)[source]#

Return new marker scaled by specified scale factors.

If sy is not given, the same scale is applied in both the x- and y-directions.

Parameters:

sxfloat

X-direction scaling factor.

syfloat, optional

Y-direction scaling factor.

transformed(transform)[source]#

Return a new version of this marker with the transform applied.

Parameters:

transformAffine2D

Transform will be combined with current user supplied transform.
