Re: [matplotlib-devel] Polygon vs. Patch

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

Since Polygon subclasses Patch, wouldn't that mean that a Polygon could be
made out of splines or Bezier curves? I fail to see the "inherent barrier"
for Polygons and Patches to be the same thing. I am not claiming that they
are identical now, I just don't see why a Polygon's functionality needs to
be in a subclass of Patch rather than in Patch itself.
