How to plot a smooth 2D color plot for z = f(x, y) in Matplotlib?
To plot a smooth 2D color plot for z = f(x, y) in Matplotlib, we can take the following steps −
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create x and y data points using numpy.
- Get z data points using f(x, y).
- Display the data as an image, i.e., on a 2D regular raster, with z data points.
- To display the figure, use 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 def f(x, y): return np.array([i * i + j * j for j in y for i in x]).reshape(5, 5) x = y = np.linspace(-1, 1, 5) z = f(x, y) plt.imshow(z, interpolation='bilinear') plt.show()
