How to change the color of data points based on some variable in Matplotlib?

To change the color of data points based on some variable in matplotlib, we can take the following steps −

• Create x, y and c variables using numpy.

• Plot the scatter points using x, y and for color, use c (Step 1).

• To display the image, use the show() method.

Example

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
x = np.linspace(1, 20, 50)
y = np.log(x)
c = np.random.randint(x)
plt.scatter(x, y, c=c)
plt.show()
