customised linestyle?

Community matplotlib-users

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a customized linestyle for line plots?
such as I want ‘–.--.–.’ or ‘---*’ or others.

I read the documentation part of `set_drawstyle and a post here:

http://old.nabble.com/Changing-the-Dash-Spacing–td33381003.html#a33381003

but still not clear. Could anyone give a very small example?

thanks et cheers,

Chao

See the API document of plot():

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot

You may try different combinations of linestyle and marker to achieve your desired style.

Hi Pengkui,

I guess you’re referring to something like:

In [15]: plot(np.arange(0,100,2),‘D-’,color=‘k’,ms=3)
Out[15]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0xbaaba8c>]

then it looks like it’s a linestyle, but actually it’s a combination of marker and line, unlike the dash ‘–’ or dots ‘:’ which are pure
linestyles. because my data are quite dense, so I guess if I want to use this way, I need to sample the data by a proper interval
to have this effect. which is also nice, for sure.

cheers,

Chao
