I want to create a stackplot using python matplotlib library, which I did as on the below pseudocode
plt.stackplot(x,
[first_value, second_value, third_value],
colors=['color1','color2','color3'])
However I want to add to each part (i.e., first_value, second_value, third_value) different hatches, but the hatch command works on the whole plot. How can I pass to the stackplot a list of different hatches?
The stackplot does not have an argument to set the hatching individually on the different polygons. So the idea would be to loop over the different stacks and set a respective hatching.
stackplot returns a list of all the stacks we can use for that purpose.
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(1)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fnx = lambda x: np.random.randint(5, 50, 10)
y = np.row_stack((fnx(0), fnx(0), fnx(0)))
x = np.arange(10)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
stacks = ax.stackplot(x, y)
hatches=["\\", "//","+"]
for stack, hatch in zip(stacks, hatches):
stack.set_hatch(hatch)
plt.show()
