pythonmatplotliblinestyle

Is there a list of line styles in matplotlib?

I'm writing a script that will do some plotting. I want it to plot several data series, each with its unique line style (not color). I can easily iterate through a list, but is there such a list already available in python?

Solution

  • According to the doc you could find them by doing this : 

    from matplotlib import lines
lines.lineStyles.keys()
>>> ['', ' ', 'None', '--', '-.', '-', ':']

    You can do the same with markers

    EDIT: In the latest versions, there are still the same styles, but you can vary the space between dots/lines.
