I am trying to make a scatter plot and annotate data points with different numbers from a list.
so for example I want to plot y vs x and annotate with corresponding numbers from n.
y = [2.56422, 3.77284, 3.52623, 3.51468, 3.02199]
z = [0.15, 0.3, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75]
n = [58, 651, 393, 203, 123]
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax1.scatter(z, y, fmt=\'o\')
Any ideas?
I\'m not aware of any plotting method which takes arrays or lists but you could use annotate()
while iterating over the values in n
.
y = [2.56422, 3.77284, 3.52623, 3.51468, 3.02199]
z = [0.15, 0.3, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75]
n = [58, 651, 393, 203, 123]
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.scatter(z, y)
for i, txt in enumerate(n):
ax.annotate(txt, (z[i], y[i]))
There are a lot of formatting options for annotate()
, see the matplotlib website:
In version\'s earlier than matplotlib 2.0, ax.scatter
is not necessary to plot text without markers. In version 2.0 you\'ll need ax.scatter
to set the proper range and markers for text.
y = [2.56422, 3.77284, 3.52623, 3.51468, 3.02199]
z = [0.15, 0.3, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75]
n = [58, 651, 393, 203, 123]
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i, txt in enumerate(n):
ax.annotate(txt, (z[i], y[i]))
And in this link you can find an example in 3d.
