举例：
横坐标是从1到1000的数，纵坐标是横坐标的平方，要求使用颜色映射为：gist_rainbow(即最后一张图的倒数第四个颜色映射)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = list(range(1,1001))
y = [i**2 for i in x]#使用列表解析

plt.scatter(x,y,c=y,cmap=plt.cm.gist_rainbow,s=20)#cm即colormap，c=y表示颜色随y变化
plt.xlabel('number',fontsize=10)
plt.ylabel('number square',fontsize=10)
plt.title('figure 1',fontsize =20)
plt.axis([0,1100,0,1100000])
plt.show()

代码中cm即colormap，c=y表示颜色随y变化（第一图），也可以使用c=x，使得颜色随x映射（第二图），变化不大
