@ ubuntu的回答是正确的方法,如果你有少量的行. (如果你想添加一个传奇,你可能会这样做!)
但是,为了显示其他选项,您仍然可以使用LineCollection,您只需要使用“代理艺术家”作为图例:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.collections import LineCollection
from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
# The line format you curently have:
lines = [[(0, 1, 2, 3, 4), (4, 5, 6, 7, 8)],
[(0, 1, 2, 3, 4), (0, 1, 2, 3, 4)],
[(0, 1, 2, 3, 4), (8, 7, 6, 5, 4)],
[(4, 5, 6, 7, 8), (0, 1, 2, 3, 4)]]
# Reformat it to what `LineCollection` expects:
lines = [zip(x, y) for x, y in lines]
z = np.array([0.1, 9.4, 3.8, 2.0])
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
lines = LineCollection(lines, array=z, cmap=plt.cm.rainbow, linewidths=5)
ax.add_collection(lines)
fig.colorbar(lines)
# Manually adding artists doesn't rescale the plot, so we need to autoscale
ax.autoscale()
def make_proxy(zvalue, scalar_mappable, **kwargs):
color = scalar_mappable.cmap(scalar_mappable.norm(zvalue))
return Line2D([0, 1], [0, 1], color=color, **kwargs)
proxies = [make_proxy(item, lines, linewidth=5) for item in z]
ax.legend(proxies, ['Line 1', 'Line 2', 'Line 3', 'Line 4'])
plt.show()
