我认为我们可以通过一系列补丁做得更好。根据文件:
这 (PatchCollection) 可以更轻松地将颜色映射分配给不同的补丁集合。
这也可以提高绘图速度,因为 PatchCollection 将比大量补丁更快地绘制。
假设您要在数据单元中绘制具有给定半径的圆的散点图:
def circles(x, y, s, c='b', vmin=None, vmax=None, **kwargs):
"""
Make a scatter of circles plot of x vs y, where x and y are sequence
like objects of the same lengths. The size of circles are in data scale.
Parameters
----------
x,y : scalar or array_like, shape (n, )
Input data
s : scalar or array_like, shape (n, )
Radius of circle in data unit.
c : color or sequence of color, optional, default : 'b'
`c` can be a single color format string, or a sequence of color
specifications of length `N`, or a sequence of `N` numbers to be
mapped to colors using the `cmap` and `norm` specified via kwargs.
Note that `c` should not be a single numeric RGB or RGBA sequence
because that is indistinguishable from an array of values
to be colormapped. (If you insist, use `color` instead.)
`c` can be a 2-D array in which the rows are RGB or RGBA, however.
vmin, vmax : scalar, optional, default: None
`vmin` and `vmax` are used in conjunction with `norm` to normalize
luminance data. If either are `None`, the min and max of the
color array is used.
kwargs : `~matplotlib.collections.Collection` properties
Eg. alpha, edgecolor(ec), facecolor(fc), linewidth(lw), linestyle(ls),
norm, cmap, transform, etc.
Returns
-------
paths : `~matplotlib.collections.PathCollection`
Examples
--------
a = np.arange(11)
circles(a, a, a*0.2, c=a, alpha=0.5, edgecolor='none')
plt.colorbar()

函数的所有参数和关键字(除了marker
)都scatter
将以类似的方式工作。我写了一个要点,包括圆、椭圆和正方形/矩形。如果你想要其他形状的集合,你可以自己修改它。
如果要绘制颜色条,只需运行colorbar()
或将返回的集合对象传递给colorbar
函数。
一个例子:
from pylab import *
figure(figsize=(6,4))
ax = subplot(aspect='equal')
#plot a set of circle
a = arange(11)
out = circles(a, a, a*0.2, c=a, alpha=0.5, ec='none')
colorbar()
#plot one circle (the lower-right one)
circles(1, 0, 0.4, 'r', ls='--', lw=5, fc='none', transform=ax.transAxes)
xlim(0,10)
ylim(0,10)
输出:
