In Python we can plot graphs for visualization using Matplotlib library. For integrating plots into applications, Matplotlib provides an API. Matplotlib has a module named pyplot which provides a MATLAB-like interface.
Matplotlib.pyplot.colors()
This function is used to specify the color. It is do-nothing function.
| Alias | Color |
|---|---|
| ‘b’ | Blue |
| ‘r’ | Red |
| ‘g’ | Green |
| ‘c’ | Cyan |
| ‘m’ | Magenta |
| ‘y’ | Yellow |
| ‘k’ | Black |
| ‘w’ | White |
We can use this function for various data visualizations and obtain insights from them.
Examples 1:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Define the Colorcolor = 'green'plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], color = color) plt.show() |
Output:
Example 2:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4]y= [1, 4, 9, 16] plt.plot(x, y, marker = 'o', markerfacecolor = 'r') plt.show() |
Output:
Here, marker=’o’ represents circle while markerfacecolor is used for specifying color of the point marker.
Note: This function has been deprecated since version 2.1.
