Hi, I use a small script to read the elments of a vtk-file and plot them as polygons, therefore I create polygons with
polygon = Polygon(coordinates) and collect them as patches: patches.append(polygon) afterwards I plot all patches with: p = PatchCollection(patches, alpha = 1.0,cmap = mpl.cm.Blues,linewidth="0.0" \ ,edgecolor="black",linewidth="0.0") ax.add_collection(p) p.set_clim(vmin=0.0,vmax=1.0) p.set_array(np.array(patchColor)) My "stupid" idea was to use linewidth = 0.0 to draw patches with no visible edges. However, it does not work, there are allways some lines, sometimes they look like artefacts. Is there some simple solution to draw a patch collection with no edges or to set the edgecolor to the facecolor? I believe that for single polygons the color = XY comand should work. The second question is if it is possible to fill patches with color gradients based on corner values? Thank you verry much for anny help and suggestions. I like matplotlib and I know that it was not developed for the stuff I'm doing, but I don't like to part with matplotlib since it is such a powerfull tool Leopold Stadler (sorry for my broken english, my first mail to an email-list) ______________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
