[Matplotlib-users] Setting a user defined color for each marker of a Line2D

[V. A. S. <so...@es...>]

Hello,

I am trying to plot a line assigning a user specified color to each 
marker. The idea is that if I have n points x, n ppoints y, I was 
expecting to be able to provide n markeredgecolors or n markerfacecolors 
as a (npoints, 4) array of RGBA values. However that does not seem to be 
possible (or I have failed to find it).

The closest thing to that functionality I have found is based on 
creating a colormap with as many entries as points to be plotted:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16834861/create-own-colormap-using-matplotlib-and-plot-color-scale

and that only seems to work with scatter plots.

Any hint about how to generate a Line2D object with a user specified set 
of colors (therefore not needing to create and use a colormap)?

Thanks for your time,

Armando
