restore_region(region)[source]

classmatplotlib.backends.backend_cairo.GraphicsContextCairo(renderer)[source]

Bases: GraphicsContextBase

get_antialiased()[source]

Return whether the object should try to do antialiased rendering.

get_rgb()[source]

Return a tuple of three or four floats from 0-1.

restore()[source]

Restore the graphics context from the stack - needed only for backends that save graphics contexts on a stack.

set_alpha(alpha)[source]

Set the alpha value used for blending - not supported on all backends.

If alpha=None (the default), the alpha components of the foreground and fill colors will be used to set their respective transparencies (where applicable); otherwise, alpha will override them.

set_antialiased(b)[source]

Set whether object should be drawn with antialiased rendering.

set_capstyle(cs)[source]

Set how to draw endpoints of lines.

Parameters:

csCapStyle or {'butt', 'projecting', 'round'}

set_clip_path(path)[source]

Set the clip path to a TransformedPath or None.

set_clip_rectangle(rectangle)[source]

Set the clip rectangle to a Bbox or None.

set_dashes(offset, dashes)[source]

Set the dash style for the gc.

Parameters:

dash_offsetfloat

Distance, in points, into the dash pattern at which to start the pattern. It is usually set to 0.

dash_listarray-like or None

The on-off sequence as points. None specifies a solid line. All values must otherwise be non-negative (\(\ge 0\)).

Notes

See p. 666 of the PostScript Language Reference for more info.

set_foreground(fg, isRGBA=None)[source]

Set the foreground color.

Parameters:

fgcolor

isRGBAbool

If fg is known to be an (r, g, b, a) tuple, isRGBA can be set to True to improve performance.

set_joinstyle(js)[source]

Set how to draw connections between line segments.

Parameters:

jsJoinStyle or {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'}

set_linewidth(w)[source]

Set the linewidth in points.

classmatplotlib.backends.backend_cairo.RendererCairo(dpi)[source]

Bases: RendererBase

draw_image(gc, x, y, im)[source]

Draw an RGBA image.

Parameters:

gcGraphicsContextBase

A graphics context with clipping information.

xfloat

The distance in physical units (i.e., dots or pixels) from the left hand side of the canvas.

yfloat

The distance in physical units (i.e., dots or pixels) from the bottom side of the canvas.

im(N, M, 4) array of numpy.uint8

An array of RGBA pixels.

transformAffine2DBase

If and only if the concrete backend is written such that option_scale_image returns True, an affine transformation (i.e., an Affine2DBase) may be passed to draw_image. The translation vector of the transformation is given in physical units (i.e., dots or pixels). Note that the transformation does not override x and y, and has to be applied before translating the result by x and y (this can be accomplished by adding x and y to the translation vector defined by transform).

draw_markers(gc, marker_path, marker_trans, path, transform, rgbFace=None)[source]

Draw a marker at each of path's vertices (excluding control points).

The base (fallback) implementation makes multiple calls to draw_path. Backends may want to override this method in order to draw the marker only once and reuse it multiple times.

Parameters:

gcGraphicsContextBase

The graphics context.

marker_pathPath

The path for the marker.

marker_transTransform

An affine transform applied to the marker.

pathPath

The locations to draw the markers.

transTransform

An affine transform applied to the path.

rgbFacecolor, optional

draw_path(gc, path, transform, rgbFace=None)[source]

Draw a Path instance using the given affine transform.

draw_text(gc, x, y, s, prop, angle, ismath=False, mtext=None)[source]

Draw a text instance.

Parameters:

gcGraphicsContextBase

The graphics context.

xfloat

The x location of the text in display coords.

yfloat

The y location of the text baseline in display coords.

sstr

The text string.

propFontProperties

The font properties.

anglefloat

The rotation angle in degrees anti-clockwise.

ismathbool or "TeX"

If True, use mathtext parser.

mtextText

The original text object to be rendered.

Notes

Notes for backend implementers:

RendererBase.draw_text also supports passing "TeX" to the ismath parameter to use TeX rendering, but this is not required for actual rendering backends, and indeed many builtin backends do not support this. Rather, TeX rendering is provided by draw_tex.

get_canvas_width_height()[source]

Return the canvas width and height in display coords.

get_text_width_height_descent(s, prop, ismath)[source]

Get the width, height, and descent (offset from the bottom to the baseline), in display coords, of the string s with FontProperties prop.

Whitespace at the start and the end of s is included in the reported width.

new_gc()[source]

Return an instance of a GraphicsContextBase.

points_to_pixels(points)[source]

Convert points to display units.

You need to override this function (unless your backend doesn't have a dpi, e.g., postscript or svg). Some imaging systems assume some value for pixels per inch:

points to pixels = points * pixels_per_inch/72 * dpi/72

Parameters:

pointsfloat or array-like

Returns:

Points converted to pixels
