Hello, this seems like it should be easy but I am beating my head on the wall here.
I am trying to fill in everything rad<=1 in a polar plot (this is a spacecraft orbit trace and the circle is the Earth) and can't seem to get it. from pylab import * from matplotlib.patches import Circle fig=figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111, polar=True) ax.plot([2,2,2,2], [2,3,4,5]) el = Circle((0,0), radius=1,facecolor='black', axes=ax) ax.add_artist(el) draw() # also get the same result plotting with polar() and of course this dumbell looks nothing like the earth :) thanks much for any help, Brian -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Brian A Larsen, PhD RBSP-ECT Instrument Suite Scientist Boston University Center for Space Physics 725 Commonwealth Ave, Rm 506 Boston, MA 02215-1401 T: 617-358-4945 F: 617-353-6463 balar...@bu.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
