#MATPLOTLIB SCATTER MARKER HOW TO#

Overall, the tutorial is designed to be read top to bottom, particularly if you’re new to Python and want the details of how to make a scatter plot in Python. This tutorial will show you how to make a matplotlib scatter plot, and it will show you how to modify your scatter plots too. You should know how to do this with your eyes closed.

Having said that, if you want to do data science in Python, you really need to know how to create a scatter plot in matplotlib. The scatter plot is a relatively simple tool, but it’s also essential for doing data analysis and data science. A Matplotlib color or sequence of color.įor non-filled markers, the edgecolors kwarg is ignored andįorced to 'face' internally.In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a matplotlib scatter plot.

'none': No patch boundary will be drawn.

'face': The edge color will always be the same as the face color.

edgecolors : or color or sequence of color, optional. If None, defaults to rcParams lines.linewidth. linewidths : scalar or array_like, optional, default: None The alpha blending value, between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque). vmin and vmax are ignored if you pass a norm If None, the respective min and max of the colorĪrray is used. Vmin and vmax are used in conjunction with norm to normalize vmin, vmax : scalar, optional, default: None Norm is only used if c is an array of floats. norm : Normalize, optional, default: NoneĪ Normalize instance is used to scale luminance data to 0, 1. cmap : Colormap, optional, default: NoneĪ Colormap instance or registered colormap name. See markers for more information about marker styles.

Or the text shorthand for a particular marker.ĭefaults to None, in which case it takes the value of marker can be either an instance of the class Those are not specified or None, the marker color is determinedīy the next color of the Axes' current 'shape and fill' colorĬycle. In that case the marker color is determinedīy the value of color, facecolor or facecolors. Matching will have precedence in case of a size matching with xĭefaults to None. If you want to specify the same RGB or RGBA value forĪll points, use a 2-D array with a single row. Note that c should not be a single numeric RGB or RGBA sequenceīecause that is indistinguishable from an array of values to beĬolormapped.

A 2-D array in which the rows are RGB or RGBA.

A sequence of n numbers to be mapped to colors using cmap and.

A sequence of color specifications of length n.
