python - Color each errorbar with different color

Question

I'm trying to plot an errorbar graph where each error bar may be either, say, red or green depending on whether the statistics used to compute the bar are significant.
I tried using an array of colors as an input to the c parameter, but that didn't work.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Here is the code that I have so far:

yerrs = np.array([quantiles[:,2],quantiles[:,3]])
print yerrs.shape
colors = ['r', 'b'] * (yerrs.shape[1]/2)
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, sharex=True, sharey=True)
axes[0].errorbar(quantiles[:,0],quantiles[:,1], yerr=yerrs, c=colors)
axes[0].axhline(0, color='black')
axes[0].axvline(0, color='black')
axes[0].set_title('Fitted dist')

I then get the error:

ValueError: to_rgba: Invalid rgba arg "['r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b', 'r', 'b']"

Answer 1

将您的数据数组分成两组并使用“ecolor”指定误差条颜色。

axes[0].errorbar(x1, y1, yerr=yerr1, ecolor="r")
axes[0].errorbar(x2, y2, yerr=yerr2, ecolor="b")

如何将数据分成第 1 部分和第 2 部分对您来说应该是微不足道的，但如果您不确定，请告诉我。
