adding color to scatter plot code example
Example 1: scatter plot color by value
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
y = [125, 32, 54, 253, 67, 87, 233, 56, 67]
color = [str(item/255.) for item in y]
plt.scatter(x, y, s=500, c=color)
plt.show()
Example 2: scatter plot color by value
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Generate data...
x = np.random.random(10)
y = np.random.random(10)
# Plot...
plt.scatter(x, y, c=y, s=500)
plt.gray()
plt.show()
