Introduction to NumPy and Matplotlib
Chapter 9: Matplotlib
Custom line color
Task 5: What’s your favourite colour?
Now, make the y
-plot the colour ‘Blue’, and the z
-plot the colour ‘Red’
Hint - watch out for the British (correct) spelling of Colour and the American (incorrect) spelling of Color.
Python only accepts the incorrect spelling…
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
resolution = 1000
x = np.linspace(0, 50, resolution)
y = np.sin(x)
z = np.exp(y)
plt.figure(1)
plt.plot(x, y, "b")
plt.plot(x, z, color="r")
plt.title("My Graph")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
plt.ylabel("Amplitude (W)")
plt.show()
