There is undoubtedly a more efficient way to do this, but give this a shot:
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = np.arange(0, 10.5, 0.5) y = -3.0*x + 0.5*x**2 color_list = ['FireBrick', 'Orange', 'DarkGreen', 'DarkBlue', 'Indigo'] limits = np.arange(0, 11, 2) fig, ax1 = plt.subplots() for n, color in enumerate(color_list): lower = np.where(x >= limits[n])[0] upper = np.where(x <= limits[n+1])[0] index = np.intersect1d(lower, upper) ax1.plot(x[index], y[index], linestyle='-', color=color, linewidth=2) plt.show() HTH, -paul On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 8:12 AM, nahren manuel <meetnah...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear Users, > I want to plot a XY, the X-value is constant, but let assume Y varees from > 1-10, so I want o have different colors accordingly for the range > 0-2,2-4,4-6,6-8,8-10. > > thanks a lot > najren > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Try before you buy = See our experts in action! > The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers > is just $99.99!
