is a floating point number. Artists with higher <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zorder</span></code> are drawn on top.
You can change the order for individual artists by setting their <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zorder</span></code>.
The default value depends on the type of the Artist:</p>
