Whoops, I forgot to change the subject. Sorry list.
List,
I’m making a scatter plot using a for loop. Here’s a simple example…
for i in range(10):
x=rand()
y=rand()
scatter(x,y,label='point')
legend()
show()
When you do this, you get a legend entry for every single point. In this
case, I get 9 entries in my legend.
Is there a way to only get a single entry? I have looked into creating
the legends by hand, but I’m not having much luck. Googling, only turned
up a single example of someone else with the same problem.
Help me list, you’re my only hope.

Hi,
im actually trying to make a countour plot Z=f(X,Y) from two variables X,Y .
My Problem is that i have to use a logarithmic scale for the Z values.
If i plot the data with the logarithmic scale it gets pretty ugly, because i
have a lot of values which are zero,
which means on the log scale the value goes to -inf.
Here is an example what i mean

I acutally have no idea how to make the plot look better,
maybe somebody has an idea ?
Use np.ma.masked_less to mask out values below some threshold before
taking the log.
e.g.,
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(0, 1, 0.01)
y = np.arange(0, 8, 0.05)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = 10 ** (-5 + 11 * X * np.sin(Y))
Z = np.ma.masked_less(Z, 1e-4)
Zlog = np.ma.log10(Z)
CS = plt.contourf(X, Y, Zlog, levels=np.arange(-3, 5.01, 1.0),
extend=‘both’)
plt.colorbar()
