Use a matplotlib.patches.Rectangle, and set the facecolor='None': import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.patches as patches fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3]) # use zorder to make sure it is over the line rect = patches.Rectangle((1.5, 1.5), 1.0, 1.0, facecolor='None', zorder=10) ax.add_patch(rect) plt.show() Hope this helps, JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
