mpl.pyplot.Line2D.set_linestyle¶

Line2D.set_linestyle(ls)[source]¶

Set the linestyle of the line (also accepts drawstyles, e.g., 'steps--')

linestyle	description
'-' or 'solid'	solid line
'--' or 'dashed'	dashed line
'-.' or 'dash_dot'	dash-dotted line
':' or 'dotted'	dotted line
'None'	draw nothing
' '	draw nothing
''	draw nothing

‘steps’ is equivalent to ‘steps-pre’ and is maintained for backward-compatibility.

Alternatively a dash tuple of the following form can be provided:

(offset, onoffseq),

where onoffseq is an even length tuple of on and off ink in points.

ACCEPTS: [‘solid’ | ‘dashed’, ‘dashdot’, ‘dotted’ |

(offset, on-off-dash-seq) | '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'None' | ' ' | '']
