Matplotlib.pyplot.tripcolor() in Python
Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module which provides a MATLAB-like interface.
Sample Code
# sample code import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], [16, 4, 1, 8]) plt.show() |

matplotlib.pyplot.tripcolor() Function
The tripcolor() function in pyplot module of matplotlib library is used to create a pseudocolor plot of an unstructured triangular grid.
Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.tripcolor(*args, alpha=1.0, norm=None, cmap=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, shading=’flat’, facecolors=None, **kwargs)
Parameters: This method accept the following parameters that are described below:
- x, y: These parameter are the x and y coordinates of the data which is to be plot.
- triangulation: This parameter is a matplotlib.tri.Triangulation object.
- **kwargs: This parameter is Text properties that is used to control the appearance of the labels.
All remaining
argsandkwargsare the same as for matplotlib.pyplot. pcolor().Returns: This returns the list of 2 Line2D containing following:
- The lines plotted for triangles edges.
- The markers plotted for triangles nodes
Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.tripcolor() function in matplotlib.pyplot:
Example-1:
# Implementation of matplotlib function import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.tri as tri import numpy as np ang = 40rad = 10radm = 0.35radii = np.linspace(radm, 0.95, rad) angles = np.linspace(0, 1.5 * np.pi, ang) angles = np.repeat(angles[..., np.newaxis], rad, axis = 1) angles[:, 1::2] += np.pi / ang x = (radii * np.cos(angles)).flatten() y = (radii * np.sin(angles)).flatten() z = (np.sin(4 * radii) * np.cos(4 * angles)).flatten() triang = tri.Triangulation(x, y) triang.set_mask(np.hypot(x[triang.triangles].mean(axis = 1), y[triang.triangles].mean(axis = 1)) < radm) fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots() ax1.set_aspect('equal') tpc = ax1.tripcolor(triang, z, shading ='flat') fig1.colorbar(tpc) fig1.suptitle('matplotlib.pyplot.tripcolor() function\ Example\n\n', fontweight ="bold") plt.show() |
