3d plot without marker edge

Hi,

I have a 3d plot that I am trying to plot and I can not get rid of the marker edge. an example would help

What have you tried -- if line is a Line3D object, the following should work:

  line.set_markeredgecolor('None')

Note that 'None' is a string here, not the python object None. This
is because None in matplotlib properties means do the default, ie the
default value specified in matplotlibrc

Since you are talking about markers, I assume that you made the plot with the scatter() function.

The scatter() function creates the appropriate collection of patches (polygon, circle, etc.) depending on what the marker style was passed to it. As such, the normal ‘marker*’ properties do not work, as there is just a collection patches that is being drawn. So the properties that you are looking for in your situation are here:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/collections_api.html#matplotlib.collections.PatchCollection

I believe that the property you are looking for is ‘edgewidth’. E.g. (and I think this is right, but not where I can test right now):

the_artist.set_edgewidth(0.0)

Which I believe will work, or you may have to do

the_artist.set_edgewidths((0.0,))

But anyway, hopefully this is enough to set you on your way.

Ugh, if I could only undo an email send 20 seconds after I hit go :wink:

If setting ‘edgewidths’ to 0 doesn’t work, try setting ‘edgecolors’ to ‘None’ as per JDH’s suggestion above, which is the same suggestion as mine except for the “marker” part of the property is removed.
