Hi all,
I’m plotting some scatter points colored by a third variable, but want to use a
limited subset of a colormap. In the example below, the color axis data ranges
from 0-4, but I want to not use the red portion of the bar. Doing the first
part is just accomplished by setting the vmin/vmax. But when I plot a color bar
I don’t want to show the colors and values for anything below zero. Other than
just white-boxing that part of the bar I’m not sure how to do it. I tried a
suggestion of setting the limit properties of the bar axis attribute, but that
results in the bar getting shrunk and shifted (a very weird behavior). Any
ideas?
Thank you,
John Leeman

color_map = plt.get_cmap('rainbow_r')
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,9))
ax1 = plt.subplot(111)
sc = ax1.scatter(x, y, c=z, s=50, cmap=color_map, vmin=-1, vmax=4)
position=fig.add_axes([0.37, 0.16, 0.5, 0.02])
cb = fig.colorbar(sc, cax=position, orientation='horizontal', drawedges=False)
cb.set_label('Z-Colors’, fontsize=14)
# I tried this after talking with Ben Root, but it
# results in some odd behavior
# cb.ax.set_xlim(0,4)
plt.show()
