[Matplotlib-users] Setting dash size and gap of dashed line in matplotlib

[per f. <per...@gm...>]

hi all,

I am plotting certain dashed lines in matplotlib, using:

plt.plot(x, y, '--')

I'd like to set the dash size (i.e. length of each dash) and the gap
between the dashes of the plotted line. Is there a way to set this
from matplotlib?

thanks.
