matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle

class matplotlib.patches.BoxStyle(stylename, **kw) [source]

Bases: matplotlib.patches._Style

BoxStyle is a container class which defines several boxstyle classes, which are used for FancyBboxPatch.

A style object can be created as:

BoxStyle.Round(pad=0.2)

or:

BoxStyle("Round", pad=0.2)

or:

BoxStyle("Round, pad=0.2")

The following boxstyle classes are defined.

Class	Name	Attrs
Circle	circle	pad=0.3
DArrow	darrow	pad=0.3
LArrow	larrow	pad=0.3
RArrow	rarrow	pad=0.3
Round	round	pad=0.3, rounding_size=None
Round4	round4	pad=0.3, rounding_size=None
Roundtooth	roundtooth	pad=0.3, tooth_size=None
Sawtooth	sawtooth	pad=0.3, tooth_size=None
Square	square	pad=0.3

An instance of any boxstyle class is an callable object, whose call signature is:

__call__(self, x0, y0, width, height, mutation_size, aspect_ratio=1.)

and returns a Path instance. x0, y0, width and height specify the location and size of the box to be drawn. mutation_scale determines the overall size of the mutation (by which I mean the transformation of the rectangle to the fancy box). mutation_aspect determines the aspect-ratio of the mutation.

Return the instance of the subclass with the given style name.
