[Matplotlib-users] cross hatching in contours?

[Jonathan S. <js...@cf...>]

I'm wondering if there is some way to do cross hatching as a way to fill
contours rather than colors (using contourf).  The only references to
cross hatching I see in the documentation are for patches type objects.
As far as I can tell, contour and contourf return objects of their own
type (contour.QuadContourSet) that do not have hatch as an attribute.

If it's not possible currently, how hard would it be to add that
capability to contourf?  What approach would you recommend?

Regards,
Jon

Yes, it seems that hatching is only supported in patches.
You may workaround this by converting contours to multiple patches.

It may not be that difficult, but seems to require an api change
(e.g., draw_path_collections).
Can you file an issue on our github page?

Hi Jae-Joon,

Your contour_to_hatched_patches.py script works excellently. Is there a way
to suppress the contour lines and filling, leaving only stippling? I have
been experimenting with it but no luck. 

I have a contourf of a 2D variable and a separate 2D array indicating
regions of statistical significance (i.e. a mask, which equals 1 in cells
where the variable is significant and equals 0 else), and I want to put
black hatching over the contourf where it is significant. I can get this to
work, but still with a black contour line surrounding the hatched region.
I'd like to remove the line, leaving just the hatching. Thanks!

Best,
Spencer

As of matplotlib v1.2.0 you can hatch a contour set directly. There is an
example in the gallery:

http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/contourf_hatching.html

Hope that helps,

Phil
