plot scatter points python code example

Example 1: how to do scatter plot in pyplot

import numpy as npimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Create data
N = 500x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
colors = (0,0,0)
area = np.pi*3
# Plot
plt.scatter(x, y, s=area, c=colors, alpha=0.5)
plt.title('Scatter plot pythonspot.com')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('y')
plt.show()

Example 2: matplotlib scatter plot python

import numpy as np
np.random.seed(19680801)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for color in ['tab:blue', 'tab:orange', 'tab:green']:
    n = 750
    x, y = np.random.rand(2, n)
    scale = 200.0 * np.random.rand(n)
    ax.scatter(x, y, c=color, s=scale, label=color,
               alpha=0.3, edgecolors='none')

ax.legend()
ax.grid(True)

plt.show()
