[Matplotlib-users] discrete colors from colormap for plt.plot and plt.scatter

[Claus <cla...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have this issue, schematically:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 

x = np.linspace(0.0, a, b)

for i in range(d):
	y1 = f1(x, p1_i, p2_i)
	y2 = f2(x, p1_i, p2_i)
	plt.scatter(x, y1, c=color[i])
	plt.plot(x, y2, '-', c=color[i]


my question:
how can I setup color to be d colors from some colormap (like cm.copper or cm.jet), they should be somewhat "equally" spaced… maybe the loop is not ideal, but I don't know a better way (yet)…

Thanks for your help,
Cheers,
Claus
