poly

MakieCore.poly Function
julia
poly(vertices, indices; kwargs...)
poly(points; kwargs...)
poly(shape; kwargs...)
poly(mesh; kwargs...)

Plots a polygon based on the arguments given. When vertices and indices are given, it functions similarly to mesh. When points are given, it draws one polygon that connects all the points in order. When a shape is given (essentially anything decomposable by GeometryBasics), it will plot decompose(shape).

poly(coordinates, connectivity; kwargs...)

Plots polygons, which are defined by coordinates (the coordinates of the vertices) and connectivity (the edges between the vertices).

Plot type

The plot type alias for the poly function is Poly.

Attributes

alpha

Defaults to 1.0

The alpha value of the colormap or color attribute. Multiple alphas like in plot(alpha=0.2, color=(:red, 0.5), will get multiplied.

clip_planes

Defaults to automatic

Clip planes offer a way to do clipping in 3D space. You can set a Vector of up to 8 Plane3f planes here, behind which plots will be clipped (i.e. become invisible). By default clip planes are inherited from the parent plot or scene. You can remove parent clip_planes by passing Plane3f[].

color

Defaults to @inherit patchcolor

Sets the color of the poly. Can be a Vector{<:Colorant} for per vertex colors or a single Colorant. A Matrix{<:Colorant} can be used to color the mesh with a texture, which requires the mesh to contain texture coordinates. Vector or Matrices of numbers can be used as well, which will use the colormap arguments to map the numbers to colors. One can also use Makie.LinePattern, to cover the poly with a regular stroke pattern.

colormap

Defaults to @inherit colormap :viridis

Sets the colormap that is sampled for numeric colors. PlotUtils.cgrad(...), Makie.Reverse(any_colormap) can be used as well, or any symbol from ColorBrewer or PlotUtils. To see all available color gradients, you can call Makie.available_gradients().

colorrange

Defaults to automatic

The values representing the start and end points of colormap.

colorscale

Defaults to identity

The color transform function. Can be any function, but only works well together with Colorbar for identity, log, log2, log10, sqrt, logit, Makie.pseudolog10 and Makie.Symlog10.

cycle

Defaults to [:color => :patchcolor]

No docs available.

depth_shift

Defaults to 0.0

adjusts the depth value of a plot after all other transformations, i.e. in clip space, where 0 <= depth <= 1. This only applies to GLMakie and WGLMakie and can be used to adjust render order (like a tunable overdraw).

fxaa

Defaults to true

adjusts whether the plot is rendered with fxaa (anti-aliasing, GLMakie only).

highclip

Defaults to automatic

The color for any value above the colorrange.

inspectable

Defaults to true

sets whether this plot should be seen by DataInspector.

inspector_clear

Defaults to automatic

Sets a callback function (inspector, plot) -> ... for cleaning up custom indicators in DataInspector.

inspector_hover

Defaults to automatic

Sets a callback function (inspector, plot, index) -> ... which replaces the default show_data methods.

inspector_label

Defaults to automatic

Sets a callback function (plot, index, position) -> string which replaces the default label generated by DataInspector.

joinstyle

Defaults to @inherit joinstyle

No docs available.

linecap

Defaults to @inherit linecap

No docs available.

linestyle

Defaults to nothing

Sets the dash pattern of the line. Options are :solid (equivalent to nothing), :dot, :dash, :dashdot and :dashdotdot. These can also be given in a tuple with a gap style modifier, either :normal, :dense or :loose. For example, (:dot, :loose) or (:dashdot, :dense).

For custom patterns have a look at Makie.Linestyle.

lowclip

Defaults to automatic

The color for any value below the colorrange.

miter_limit

Defaults to @inherit miter_limit

No docs available.

model

Defaults to automatic

Sets a model matrix for the plot. This overrides adjustments made with translate!, rotate! and scale!.

nan_color

Defaults to :transparent

The color for NaN values.

overdraw

Defaults to false

Controls if the plot will draw over other plots. This specifically means ignoring depth checks in GL backends

shading

Defaults to NoShading

No docs available.

space

Defaults to :data

sets the transformation space for box encompassing the plot. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

ssao

Defaults to false

Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with ssao (screen space ambient occlusion). Note that this only makes sense in 3D plots and is only applicable with fxaa = true.

stroke_depth_shift

Defaults to -1.0e-5

Depth shift of stroke plot. This is useful to avoid z-fighting between the stroke and the fill.

strokecolor

Defaults to @inherit patchstrokecolor

Sets the color of the outline around a marker.

strokecolormap

Defaults to @inherit colormap

Sets the colormap that is sampled for numeric colors.

strokewidth

Defaults to @inherit patchstrokewidth

Sets the width of the outline.

transformation

Defaults to automatic

No docs available.

transparency

Defaults to false

Adjusts how the plot deals with transparency. In GLMakie transparency = true results in using Order Independent Transparency.

visible

Defaults to true

Controls whether the plot will be rendered or not.
