You don't need any defense -- it's no secret that mpl is
under-documented. If you know how to look, the information is usually
there, but the trick is knowing how to look
In [3]: l, = plot([1,2,3])
In [4]: setp(l)
alpha: float
animated: [True | False]
antialiased or aa: [True | False]
clip_box: a matplotlib.transform.Bbox instance
clip_on: [True | False]
color or c: any matplotlib color - see help(colors)
dash_capstyle: ['butt' | 'round' | 'projecting']
dash_joinstyle: ['miter' | 'round' | 'bevel']
dashes: sequence of on/off ink in points
data: (array xdata, array ydata)
figure: a matplotlib.figure.Figure instance
label: any string
linestyle or ls: [ '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'steps' | 'None' ]
linewidth or lw: float value in points
lod: [True | False]
marker: [ '+' | ',' | '.' | '1' | '2' | '3' | '4' | '<' | '>' |
'D' | 'H' | '^' | '_' | 'd' | 'h' | 'o' | 'p' | 's' | 'v' | 'x' |
'|' ]
markeredgecolor or mec: any matplotlib color - see help(colors)
markeredgewidth or mew: float value in points
markerfacecolor or mfc: any matplotlib color - see help(colors)
markersize or ms: float
solid_capstyle: ['butt' | 'round' | 'projecting']
solid_joinstyle: ['miter' | 'round' | 'bevel']
transform: a matplotlib.transform transformation instance
visible: [True | False]
xdata: array
ydata: array
zorder: any number
This reminds me -- of late I've been wishing for a grep-like feature
in ipython
In [2]: setp(l) | grep dash
to see just the output of setp that matches "dash". In your case, you
would have seen
dash_capstyle: ['butt' | 'round' | 'projecting']
dash_joinstyle: ['miter' | 'round' | 'bevel']
dashes: sequence of on/off ink in points
suggesting that you can not only configure the dash style, but the
dash cap and join style as well :-)
Of course, I could add this functionality to setp but it would be more
generally useful to have it in ipython.
The use case I had in mind today was in history, when I had a bunch of
commands I wanted to grep through
In [1000]: history | grep xxx
