Decoupling hatch from edges #7059
Description
- Fedora 20; Python 2.7.5; Matplotlib 1.4.3 (installed by yum/pip)
I look around but this seems still to be an open issue. Do you confirm it? I have a polygon filled y hatches but I would like to plot only those hatches rather than the edge of the polygon too. Like:
ax.add_artist(mpatches.Polygon(..., ec='none', fc='none', hatch='//'))
But in this fashion, as hatch is bound to ec if I set this latter to none, hatches disappear as well...

You could set the linewidth to zero (
lw=0), which makes the edge of the polygon invisible but does not affect the hatching.tacaswell commentedon Sep 8, 2016
API control of the hatching is something that needs work

Thanks.
The workaround suggested by @anntzer however currently fulfills my aim.
So let me know if you prefer to keep the issue open or whether I can close it.

Leave it open, at somepoint we are going to have to go through and collect all of the hatch related issues into a single tracker issue.

API control of every hatching is implemented now (something like set_hatch_color)?
tacaswell commentedon Apr 8, 2020
There is control at the graphic context level, but there is not an API at the artist or user facing levels.

This has been addressed in #28104. So this issue can be closed.
The required behavior can be achieved by simply passing the
hatchcolorparameter
