[Matplotlib-users] plot() and imshow() relationship

[Amit S. <ami...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I  am trying to understand if there is a way to compare how plot() and
imshow() works for the case where I am not using imshow() to display
an image.

Via the plot() function, I am specifying the points that I want to
plot and also optionally the color that i want the points to be in.
For example, plot([1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], 'ro') will create a plot with
those points colored "red". Via the imshow() function, we specify the
color (or intensity) of each point and a figure is created with the
points colored accordingly. Sure, imshow() allows me to color each
point differently.

Is there a way to relate them?

Thanks,
Amit.
