plot_color_by_value(x, y, *args, c[, cmap, colorbar, ...])

Uses same syntax as matplotlib.pyplot.plot, except that c is now an array-like that maps to a specific color

aerosandbox.tools.pretty_plots.plots.plot_color_by_value.plot_color_by_value(x, y, *args, c, cmap='turbo', colorbar=False, colorbar_label=None, clim=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Uses same syntax as matplotlib.pyplot.plot, except that c is now an array-like that maps to a specific color pulled from cmap. Makes lines that are multicolored based on this c value.

Parameters:

  • x (numpy.ndarray) – Array of x-points.

  • y (numpy.ndarray) – Array of y-points.

  • *args – Args that will be passed into matplotlib.pyplot.plot(). Example: “.-” for a dotted line.

  • c (numpy.ndarray) – Array of values that will map to colors. Must be the same length as x and y.

  • cmap – The colormap to use.

  • colorbar (bool) – Whether or not to display the colormap. [bool]

  • colorbar_label (str) – The label to add to the colorbar. Only applies if the colorbar is created. [str]

  • clim (Tuple[float, float]) – A tuple of (min, max) that assigns bounds to the colormap. Computed from the range of c if not given.

  • **kwargs – Kwargs that will be passed into matplotlib.pyplot.plot()

Returns:
