plt plot scatter color code example

Example 1: plt.scatter set color in rgb

X = [0, 1, 2]
Y = [0, 1, 2]
Z = [0, 1, 2]
C = np.array([[255, 0, 0], [0, 255, 0], [0, 0, 255]])
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection = '3d')

ax.scatter(X, Y, Z, c = C/255.0)
plt.show()

Example 2: scatter plot color by value

x=['A','B','B','C','A','B']
y=[15,30,25,18,22,13]

# Function to map the colors as a list from the input list of x variables
def pltcolor(lst):
    cols=[]
    for l in lst:
        if l=='A':
            cols.append('red')
        elif l=='B':
            cols.append('blue')
        else:
            cols.append('green')
    return cols
# Create the colors list using the function above
cols=pltcolor(x)

plt.scatter(x=x,y=y,s=500,c=cols) #Pass on the list created by the function here
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
