Friends,
I have a simple array like this data=[0,0,1,1,3,1,0,1,1,3]. I want to make a plot (using pcolor/matshow) by giving distinct color to each integer. Something like green for zero, red for 1 and blue for 3. Your suggestions / any pseudo code would be of great help.
Thanks,
Bala
With ipython -pylab:
data=[0,0,1,1,3,1,0,1,1,3]
z = np.array(data, dtype=int)
z.shape = 2,5
cmap = mpl.colors.ListedColormap(['g', 'r', 'k', 'b'])
matshow(z, cmap=cmap)
If the argument to matshow or pcolor (or anything doing color mapping) is an ndarray of integers, then those integers are used directly to index into the lookup table of the colormap. ListedColormap provides a simple way of generating a colormap with a sequence of discrete colors.
