matplotlib.markers.MarkerStyle#

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

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')#

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_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_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.
