[Matplotlib-users] display a path?
i apologize in advance for what is undoubtedly a silly question, but, having looked through the coding examples and the forum i am still a little confused... am i correct in understanding that the only way to draw / display a path on an axes is by converting it to a PathPatch and adding that to the axes? ideally i would like to display a PathPatch as well as parts of the path that surround it. to do this i would like to show the PathPatch with no edge and then also show part of the path (with no fill). thanks in advance, lb -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/display-a-path--tp23805921p23805921.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] display a path?
Mike, thanks so much for the response. my intent is to build compound paths that (ideally) include bezier curve approximations to circle segments and straight-line elements. the final output will most likely be an SVG file so it would be nice to keep the beziers. but since i'm new to matplotlib, scipy and python in general this may be trying to bite off more than i can chew. ;) lb Michael Droettboom-3 wrote: > > If your path has bezier curve segments, then, yes, PathPatch is the most > direct method (see the dolphin.py example).
