[FIXED] How to isolate parts of a Venn Diagram

Issue

Here is a Venn Diagram I drew in Python:

!pip install matplotlib_venn

from matplotlib_venn import venn2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


from matplotlib_venn import venn2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

set1_size = 20
set2_size = 25
intersection_size = 5

venn2(subsets=(set1_size, set2_size, intersection_size))

plt.show()

This makes a brown part, a green part and a red part.

I want to extract the green part separately, the brown part separately and the red part separately.

Is there something that can be done to do this? I tried looking but found nothing. Is it even possible?

Or is it possible to just have the venn diagram as blank color, and then just individually highlight certain parts? Ex: center as yellow, (left circle without center) as purple, etc?

Solution

Possible arguments for .get_patch_by_id() include '10', '11', and '01'. See also this link.

See the patch documentation for other patch parameters (e.g. color) that you can set.

from matplotlib_venn import venn2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

set1_size = 20
set2_size = 25
intersection_size = 5

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
vd = venn2(subsets=(set1_size, set2_size, intersection_size))

vd.get_patch_by_id('10').set(visible=False, label=None)
vd.get_label_by_id('10').set_text("")

vd.get_patch_by_id('11').set(visible=False, label=None)
vd.get_label_by_id('11').set_text("")

plt.show()
