Try this: from matplotlib import pyplot as plt from matplotlib.patches import Circle
f = plt.figure() ax = f.gca() rad = 1.4 c1 = Circle((-1,0),rad, alpha=.2, fc ='red') c2 = Circle((1,0),rad, alpha=.2, fc ='blue') c3 = Circle((0,1),rad, alpha=.2, fc ='green') ax.add_patch(c1) ax.add_patch(c2) ax.add_patch(c3) ax.set_xlim(-3,3) ax.set_ylim(-3,3) plt.show() J.
