axes.boxplot does not have zorder kwarg #7171
Description
Hi eveybody,
I want to draw boxplot and scatter in one figure, but the boxplot always covers the points as below:
How could I set the scatter above the boxplot? Thanks ~
Here's my code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x=[1,2,3]
a=np.array([70,170,130])
y=[]
yy=[]
for i in range(3):
yy.append(np.random.randn(5))
y.append(yy[i].mean())
plt.figure()
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, figsize=(5, 5))
axes.scatter(x,y,c='r',s=a)
bplot1 = axes.boxplot(yy,
vert=True, # vertical box aligmnent
patch_artist=True) # fill with color
color = 'blue'
for patch in bplot1['boxes']:
patch.set_facecolor(color)
patch.set_alpha(0.5)
plt.savefig('1.jpg',dpi=100)
plt.show()

Use
zorderargument in plotting commands, the higher the value, the more on top will be the objects.Kojoley commentedon Sep 24, 2016

thanks a lot! it's very helpful. but it seems the boxplot() doesn't have the zorder argument. So I couldn't set the order of two boxplot?
thanks again!

re-titled and re-opened, boxplot should take
zorderas a kwrag.efiring commentedon Sep 24, 2016
@nancysendoh, for your immediate problem, try raising the scatter plot by supplying scatter a "zorder=2.5" kwarg. That will put its patch collection above the Line2D default zorder of 2 that is used by boxplot.

Closing: the
zorderkwarg was added in #7178 :).
