Hi all,
I’m plotting some scatter points colored by a third variable, but want to use a limited subset of a colormap. In the example below, the color axis data ranges from 0-4, but I want to not use the red portion of the bar. Doing the first part is just accomplished by setting the vmin/vmax. But when I plot a color bar I don’t want to show the colors and values for anything below zero. Other than just white-boxing that part of the bar I’m not sure how to do it. I tried a suggestion of setting the limit properties of the bar axis attribute, but that results in the bar getting shrunk and shifted (a very weird behavior). Any ideas?
Thank you,
John Leeman

No, that’s not what he is asking for. John wants the norm to go from -1 to 4, but he wants the colorbar to display only the 0 to 4 portion. Your approach (setting vmin=0) would change the normalization and change the colors.
The axes limits do not appear to be scaled by the values. They are set to (0, 1). So, the kludgy way would seem to be to set the xlimits to be (0.2, 1) (taking out a fifth of the colorbar, but the frame is still there…

Hmm, well his values go from 0 to 4, and he wants his colorbar to go from 0 to 4, but just over the last 4/5ths of the colormap. I think I gave him what he wants. But I guess he can decide!

::Looks again::
Ok, I see what you did here:
cmap = plt.get_cmap('rainbow_r’)
start=0.2
stop = 1.
colors = cmap(np.linspace(start, stop, cmap.N))
Create a new colormap from those colors
color_map = LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list(‘Upper Half’, colors)
I missed this part the first time through, noticing only the change to the vmin. Yeah, I think that would work just fine. Sorry for the confusion.
Cheers!
