Python | Scatter plot with matplotlib

Python Matplotlib | plt.scatter()

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces quality figures in a variety of formats

Refer below code for creating scatter plots with matplotlib. pyplot, showing legend and changing position of the legend.

Generate data with numpy and create scatter plot.


import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#Generate ramdom intergers beetween 1 to 32
x = np.random.randint(1, 32, size=30)
# Sqaures on integers in x
y = np.square(x)

#Create scatter plot
plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.show()

Show legend in the plot


import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#Generate ramdom intergers beetween 1 to 32
x = np.random.randint(1, 32, size=30)
# Sqaures on integers in x
y = np.square(x)

#Create scatter plot
plt.scatter(x, y, label='Square of integers')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Change legend position in the plot


import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#Generate ramdom intergers beetween 1 to 32
x = np.random.randint(1, 32, size=30)
# Sqaures on integers in x
y = np.square(x)

#Create scatter plot
plt.scatter(x, y, label='Square of integers')
plt.legend(loc=1)
plt.show()
