如何将绘制的线保留在补丁下方

在下面的代码中，我绘制了一条线，然后在其上方绘制了一个不透明补丁 (alpha=1)。我希望被补丁覆盖的线部分被隐藏，但看起来好像线是在补丁之后绘制的。如何更改，使线条不显示出来？

该代码改编自这个 matplotlib 示例

import matplotlib.path as mpath
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


fig, ax = plt.subplots()

Path = mpath.Path
path_data = [
    (Path.MOVETO, (1.58, -2.57)),
    (Path.CURVE4, (0.35, -1.1)),
    (Path.CURVE4, (-1.75, 2.0)),
    (Path.CURVE4, (0.375, 2.0)),
    (Path.LINETO, (0.85, 1.15)),
    (Path.CURVE4, (2.2, 3.2)),
    (Path.CURVE4, (3, 0.05)),
    (Path.CURVE4, (2.0, -0.5)),
    (Path.CLOSEPOLY, (1.58, -2.57)),
    ]
codes, verts = zip(*path_data)


path = mpath.Path(verts, codes)
# plot control points and connecting lines
x, y = zip(*path.vertices)
y2 = [_y-1 for _y in y]
line, = ax.plot(x, y2, 'go-')


patch = mpatches.PathPatch(path, facecolor='r', alpha=1)
ax.add_patch(patch)

ax.grid()
ax.axis('equal')
plt.show()

您可以指定补丁的 z 顺序（绿线有zorder2，所以任何 > 2 都可以）：

patch = mpatches.PathPatch(path, facecolor='r', alpha=1, zorder=5)
