class Dots

Dots draws SVG symbols at a set of points.

Arguments

Dots(d, symbol, width, height, attribute=value)

Note that a list of (x,y) points can be constructed with Python's zip function. This can be useful for constructing d.

>>> x = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> y = [1,4,9,16,25]
>>> zip(x,y)
[(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25)]

The symbol can be a new SVG object constructed like this

>>> SVG("symbol", SVG("circle", cx=0, cy=0, r=1, stroke="none", fill="black"), viewBox="0 0 1 1", overflow="visible", id="new_identifier")

or using the make_symbol function. You can also just supply a new identifier, and Dots will call make_symbol for you.

You need to supply an identifier that hasn't already been used in your SVG image, so that the dots link to the right reference.

SVG method

Dots has an SVG method, as described in General features for all primatives.
