Hello, I am using Matplotlib 1.0.0 in Python 2.6. I am trying to plot time series data of unique IDs and color the points based on location. Each data point has a unique ID value, a date value, and a location value. The unique IDs and date values are plotting fine but I am unable to control the color and subsequently the legend.
Here is a sample of the data. IDs = [47, 33, 47, 12, 50, 50, 27, 27, 16, 27] locations = ['201', '207', '207', '205', '204', '201', '209', '209', '207','207'] dates = [ 733315.83240741, 733315.83521991, 733315.83681713, 733315.83788194, 733336.54554398, 733336.54731481, 733337.99842593, 733337.99943287, 733338.00070602, 733338.00252315] This basic code works. fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.scatter(dates,IDs,marker='d') ax.xaxis_date() fig.autofmt_xdate() plt.grid(True) plt.show() I've been trying to figure out how to set color = locations with no success. Any ideas out there?
