[Matplotlib-users] using color as z-axis for plots

[Chad K. <cck...@gm...>]

I've got many series of data that I want to plot, and each has an  
additional scalar that is valid for the whole series.  What I want to  
do is plot all these series on top of each other (plot can do this  
just fine), but with the additional scalar changing the color,  
efectively using color as the z-axis.  I'm not seeing how to do that.   
If there was a function where I could give a color map a value and it  
would spit out the color, that would work, but I haven't seen it.   
Thanks for your help.
