<dd><p>Set a property on an artist object.</p>
<p>matplotlib supports the use of <a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.artist.setp" title="matplotlib.artist.setp"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">setp()</span></tt></a> (“set property”) and
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.artist.getp" title="matplotlib.artist.getp"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">getp()</span></tt></a> to set and get object properties, as well as to do
introspection on the object. For example, to set the linestyle of a
line to be dashed, you can do:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">line</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">plot</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">])</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">setp</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">line</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">linestyle</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">'--'</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want to know the valid types of arguments, you can provide the
name of the property you want to set without a value:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">setp</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">line</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'linestyle'</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go"> linestyle: [ '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'steps' | 'None' ]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want to see all the properties that can be set, and their
possible values, you can do:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">setp</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">line</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go"> ... long output listing omitted</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.artist.setp" title="matplotlib.artist.setp"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">setp()</span></tt></a> operates on a single instance or a list of instances.
If you are in query mode introspecting the possible values, only
the first instance in the sequence is used. When actually setting
values, all the instances will be set. E.g., suppose you have a
list of two lines, the following will make both lines thicker and
red:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">arange</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mf">1.0</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="mf">0.01</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">y1</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">sin</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">pi</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">y2</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">sin</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">4</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">pi</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">lines</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">plot</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">y1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">y2</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">setp</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">lines</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">linewidth</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">color</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">'r'</span><span class="p">)</span>

</div>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.artist.setp" title="matplotlib.artist.setp"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">setp()</span></tt></a> works with the MATLAB style string/value pairs or
with python kwargs. For example, the following are equivalent:</p>

<p>A line - the line can have both a solid linestyle connecting all
the vertices, and a marker at each vertex. Additionally, the
drawing of the solid line is influenced by the drawstyle, eg one
can create “stepped” lines in various styles.</p>
