Set the color of a plot in argument's function

Community matplotlib-users

I don't manage to put the color of my plot in the argument' list function.

Example:

def function(color):

      plot(x,y,'.', color, label = "this is my curve")

function('r')

even if I put function(" 'r' ") it doesn't work.

Any idea?

I would suggest using named arguments for everything other than x and y, so

plot(x,y,marker=',', color=color, label='this is my curve')
