Re: [Matplotlib-users] Polygon masking possible?

Hi, I often do this with ds9 and funtools. ds9 is an astronomy-oriented image viewer (http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/) but you can also use it with numpy array. Within ds9, you can define regions (ellipse, polynomial, etc) easily with a mouse. After you define a region (and save it as a file),

.get_paths() returns a list of Path objects. (See path.py). For each Path object, you can get an Nx2 array of vertices from its "vertices" member. You can also use the "iter_segments" method to iterate through each of its vertices, but that's primarily only useful when there may be bezier cu
