Bases: LineCollection

Class for the star shape.

This shape is generated using the panda dataset.

Parameters:

dataset (Dataset) – The starting dataset to morph into other shapes.

distance(x: Number, y: Number) → float

Parameters:

• x (numbers.Number) – Coordinates of a point in 2D space.

• y (numbers.Number) – Coordinates of a point in 2D space.

Returns:

The minimum distance from the lines of this shape to the point (x, y).

Return type:

float

lines

An iterable of two (x, y) pairs representing the endpoints of a line.

Type:

Iterable[Iterable[numbers.Number]]

plot(ax: Axes = None) → Axes
