import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.patches as mpatches xy = 0.3, 0.3, width, height = 0.2, 0.5
p = mpatches.Rectangle(xy, width, height, facecolor="orange", edgecolor="red") plt.gca().add_patch(p) plt.draw() A Rectangle is a patch class and (although I'm not sure) I don't think there is a helper function to easily create a patch object in the pyplot level. To draw a Rectangle (or any patch object), you need to import matplotlib.patches module, create a patch object and add it to your axes (add_patch method). The doc says that hatch is only supported in ps backend. Check the set_hatch method. Regards, -JJ On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 1:06 PM, Ryan Pavlovicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi.
