Draw magnifying glass marker(s) at specified location(s) on a matplotlib plot.

This function creates a magnifying glass glyph by stacking several matplotlib markers.

Parameters:

  • x (float or sequence of floats) – The x-coordinate(s) where the magnifying glass(es) will be placed.

  • y (float or sequence of floats) – The y-coordinate(s) where the magnifying glass(es) will be placed.

  • ax (mpl_axes.Axes, optional) –

    The axes object on which to draw the markers.

    If None, plt.gca() will be used.

  • color_accent (Optional[str], optional) –

    The default accent color for the glyph.

    If color is “white”, defaults “black”. Otherwise, defaults “white”.

  • alpha (float, default 1.0) – The transparency level of the markers.

  • color (str, default "black") – The primary color for the glyph components.

  • linecolor (str, default "none") – Color for connecting lines between markers, if any.

  • markersize (float, default 15) – Size for glyph’s largest marker element.

  • rotate_angle (float, default 20) – The angle (in degrees) to rotate the asterisk part of the magnifying glass.

  • **kwargs (dict, optional) – Additional keyword arguments forward to matplotlib plot.

Return type:

None
