举例1：

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
图如下:

画一个2维无关高斯分布

这里实际关于颜色映射的就只有ax.plot_surface(X,Y,F_x_y,cmap='jet')这一行代码，jet是上面给的渐变色中的一个。

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as axisartist
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D #画三维图不可少
from matplotlib import cm  #cm 是colormap的简写

#定义坐标轴函数
def setup_axes(fig, rect):
    ax = axisartist.Subplot(fig, rect)
    fig.add_axes(ax)

    ax.set_ylim(-.2, 1.2)
    #自定义刻度
#    ax.set_yticks([-10, 0,9])
    ax.set_xlim(-10,10)
    ax.axis[:].set_visible(False)

	#第2条线，即y轴,经过x=0的点
    ax.axis["y"] = ax.new_floating_axis(1, 0)
    ax.axis["y"].set_axisline_style("-|>", size=1.5)
#    第一条线，x轴，经过y=0的点
    ax.axis["x"] = ax.new_floating_axis(0, 0)
    ax.axis["x"].set_axisline_style("-|>", size=1.5)

    return(ax)
# 1_dimension gaussian function
def gaussian(x,mu,sigma):
    f_x = 1/(sigma*np.sqrt(2*np.pi))*np.exp(-np.power(x-mu, 2.)/(2*np.power(sigma,2.)))
    return(f_x)

# 2_dimension gaussian function
def gaussian_2(x,y,mu_x,mu_y,sigma_x,sigma_y):
    f_x_y = 1/(sigma_x*sigma_y*(np.sqrt(2*np.pi))**2)*np.exp(-np.power\
              (x-mu_x, 2.)/(2*np.power(sigma_x,2.))-np.power(y-mu_y, 2.)/\
              (2*np.power(sigma_y,2.)))
    return(f_x_y)

#在已经定义好的画布上加入高斯函数
x_values = np.linspace(-5,5,2000)
y_values = np.linspace(-5,5,2000)
X,Y = np.meshgrid(x_values,y_values)
mu_x,mu_y,sigma_x,sigma_y = 0,0,0.8,0.8
F_x_y = gaussian_2(X,Y,mu_x,mu_y,sigma_x,sigma_y)
#显示三维图
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.gca(projection='3d')
ax.plot_surface(X,Y,F_x_y,cmap='jet')
# 显示等高线图
#ax.contour3D(X,Y,F_x_y,50,cmap='jet')
#plt.show()

举例3 颜色渐变画图

例子参考codeday的最后一个举例

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(0, 1, 10)
number = 5
cmap = plt.get_cmap('gnuplot')
colors = [cmap(i) for i in np.linspace(0, 1, number)]

for i, color in enumerate(colors, start=1):
    plt.plot(x, i * x + i, color=color, label='$y = {i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()

如果是子图的形式展示，即ax.plot()的形式，那么里面的颜色表示为c=color因为ax里面是使用的c而不是全名color表示颜色变量
