matplotlib.pyplot.axhspan — Matplotlib 3.10.3 documentation (original) (raw)
matplotlib.pyplot.axhspan(ymin, ymax, xmin=0, xmax=1, **kwargs)[source]#
Add a horizontal span (rectangle) across the Axes.
The rectangle spans from ymin to ymax vertically, and, by default, the whole x-axis horizontally. The x-span can be set using xmin(default: 0) and xmax (default: 1) which are in axis units; e.g.xmin = 0.5 always refers to the middle of the x-axis regardless of the limits set by set_xlim.
Parameters:
yminfloat
Lower y-coordinate of the span, in data units.
ymaxfloat
Upper y-coordinate of the span, in data units.
xminfloat, default: 0
Lower x-coordinate of the span, in x-axis (0-1) units.
xmaxfloat, default: 1
Upper x-coordinate of the span, in x-axis (0-1) units.
Returns:
Horizontal span (rectangle) from (xmin, ymin) to (xmax, ymax).
