[Matplotlib-users] rectangle fill patterns

[john <joh...@jp...>]

Hello,

 

I am trying to set a bar (a patched series of rectangles) with a fill
pattern instead of 

just a solid color.  Is there an easy way to do this in matplotlib?

I am thinking of something like Qt's QBrush which has cross, vertical,
dense, etc. patterns.

 

Also, could you please tell me how to plot a rotated ellipse?

 

Thanks,
