Plot only inside a disc

Thanks, your example works but what I must do so to plot for example y=cos x ? I’m a very beginner.

Hello,
I would like to make a kind of magnifying glass. So I need to have a piece of
a graph and I would like it to have the form
of a disc rather than of a box.
So is-it possible to only draw in a disc (I’m searching for a fast way to do
that) ?

You can turn off the rendering of the normal axes and axis, and clip
your data to an arbitrary patch or path; eg

“”"
Clipping to arbitrary patches and paths
“”"
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.path as path
import matplotlib.
patches as patches

im.set_clip_path(patch)

plt.show()

line, = ax.plot(x, np.cos(x))
  patch = patches.Circle((300,300), radius=100)
  line.set_clip_path(patch)

Everything in the matplotlib figure is an "Artist" (lines, images,
text, rectangles) and you can set the clippath of any artist. See
