How to use scatter() In Python

scatter is a method present in matplotlib library which is used to set individual point sizes. It takes 3 parameters 2 data points and a list of marker point sizes.

Python3




# import necessary packages
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
# data1&data2
data1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
data2 = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  
# size of marker points
sizes = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
  
# plot graph
plt.scatter(data1, data2, sizes)
plt.xlabel('x-axis')
plt.ylabel('y-axis')


Output:

There is flexibility in scatter that is we can specify the size for each point so that it can be easily distinguished.
