matplotlib.patches.Polygon   classmatplotlib.patches.Polygon(xy, closed=True, **kwargs)[source]
 
Bases: matplotlib.patches.Patch A general polygon patch. xy is a numpy array with shape Nx2. If closed is True, the polygon will be closed so the starting and ending points are the same. Valid keyword arguments are:   
Property Description

antialiased or aa bool or None  
capstyle CapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}  
clip_box Bbox

Get the vertices of the path.  Returns 
 (N, 2) numpy array

The coordinates of the vertices.

xy (N, 2) array-like

   set_closed(closed)[source]
 
Set whether the polygon is closed.  Parameters 
 
closedbool


True if the polygon is closed     
   set_xy(xy)[source]
 
Set the vertices of the polygon.  Parameters 
 
xy(N, 2) array-like


The coordinates of the vertices.     Notes Unlike Path, we do not ignore the last input vertex. If the polygon is meant to be closed, and the last point of the polygon is not equal to the first, we assume that the user has not explicitly passed a CLOSEPOLY vertex, and add it ourselves. 
   propertyxy
 
The vertices of the path as (N, 2) numpy array.
