有几种不同的方式来做到这一点。 “最佳”方法将主要取决于您想要绘制多少条线段。
如果你只是要密谋极少数(如10)线段,那么就这样做:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def uniqueish_color():
"""There're better ways to generate unique colors, but this isn't awful."""
return plt.cm.gist_ncar(np.random.random())
xy = (np.random.random((10, 2)) - 0.5).cumsum(axis=0)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for start, stop in zip(xy[:-1], xy[1:]):
x, y = zip(start, stop)
ax.plot(x, y, color=uniqueish_color())
plt.show()
如果你有一百万线绘制的东西但是,这将会非常缓慢地画出来。在这种情况下,请使用LineCollection
。例如。
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.collections import LineCollection
xy = (np.random.random((1000, 2)) - 0.5).cumsum(axis=0)
# Reshape things so that we have a sequence of:
# [[(x0,y0),(x1,y1)],[(x0,y0),(x1,y1)],...]
xy = xy.reshape(-1, 1, 2)
segments = np.hstack([xy[:-1], xy[1:]])
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
coll = LineCollection(segments, cmap=plt.cm.gist_ncar)
coll.set_array(np.random.random(xy.shape[0]))
ax.add_collection(coll)
ax.autoscale_view()
plt.show()
对于这两种情况,我们只是从 “gist_ncar” coloramp绘制随机颜色。看看这里的色彩映射表(gist_ncar是大约2/3的一路下跌):http://matplotlib.org/examples/color/colormaps_reference.html
