Re: [Matplotlib-users] setting scatter colors

[John W. <was...@gm...>]

Eric,

Exactly. Thanks for your post. I finally figured it out, and wanted to
post here for completeness in case no one followed up, but I'm glad
that you did. So yes, the following:

scatter(x, y, c=arange(len(x)), cmap=cm.spectral)

is exactly what I wanted... except that for my data I had:

Yvar1, Yvar2, Yvar3, ...
All data was plotted against Yvar1, and the first plot was Yvar1 vs.
Time. I wanted the colors for all the plots to be reflective of Time,
and consistently across the subplots, thus I had to define Time and
then use:

scatter(x, y, c=Time, cmap=cm.spectral)

However, I didn't try the arange function, I probably could've done
something like:

t=arange(Time)

scatter(x, y, c=t, cmap=cm.spectral)

Anyway, thanks again!
