scatterm

mipylib.plotlib.miplot.scatterm(*args, **kwargs)

Make a scatter plot on a map.

Parameters

  • x – (array_like) Input x data.

  • y – (array_like) Input y data.

  • z – (array_like) Input z data.

  • levs – (array_like) Optional. A list of floating point numbers indicating the level curves to draw, in increasing order.

  • cmap – (string) Color map string.

  • colors – (list) If None (default), the colormap specified by cmap will be used. If a string, like ‘r’ or ‘red’, all levels will be plotted in this color. If a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different levels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.

  • size – (int) Marker size.

  • marker – (string) Marker of the points.

  • fill – (boolean) Fill markers or not. Default is True.

  • edge – (boolean) Draw edge of markers or not. Default is True.

  • facecolor – (Color) Fill color of markers. Default is black.

  • edgecolor – (Color) Edge color of markers. Default is black.

  • fill_value – (float) Fill_value. Default is -9999.0.

  • proj – (ProjectionInfo) Map projection of the data. Default is None.

  • order – (int) Z-order of created layer for display.

Returns

(VectoryLayer) Point VectoryLayer.

layer = shaperead('D:/Temp/map/china.shp')
pr, lon, lat = rmaskout(pr, lon, lat, layer.shapes())
