[Matplotlib-users] plot star instead of pentagram

2008-09-03 Thread dmitrey
hi all, matplotlib says it's similar to MATLAB's plot tool, however, using plot(..., 'p') plots pentagram instead of star. It makes my (Python scikits.openopt) graphic output of numerical convergence look uglier than MATLAB version. So is plotting a star intended to be ever implemented? Thank y

I'm always glad to see that old chestnut resurface, but it doesn't really address the need for a hole in the middle. (I'm sure the dolphins are very happy about that...) matplotlib paths use the "non-zero" filling rule, so the directionality of the path affects filling. The best concise des
