Can't plot anything with matplotlib - python-3.x

Whenever I try to plot something with matplotlib, I get the following error:
File "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 2018, in __init__
baseName = os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])
builtins.IndexError: list index out of range
For example, i've tried the following code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
N = 50
x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
colors = np.random.rand(N)
area = np.pi * (15 * np.random.rand(N))**2 # 0 to 15 point radii
plt.scatter(x, y, s=area, c=colors, alpha=0.5)
plt.show()
I have the latest version of matplotlib, please help.
Thank you

You need to import numpy.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
N = 50
x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
colors = np.random.rand(N)
area = np.pi * (15 * np.random.rand(N))**2 # 0 to 15 point radii
plt.scatter(x, y, s=area, c=colors, alpha=0.5)
plt.show()

Plotting colorbar in Python 3

I am trying to color the errorbar points based on the color from an array. But getting an error. My code is shown below:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.cm import ScalarMappable, coolwarm as cmap
from matplotlib.colors import Normalize
fig = plt.figure(1)
sp = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
sp.set_xlabel(r'$x$')
sp.set_ylabel(r'$y$')
x = np.random.rand(10)
y = np.random.rand(10)
M = np.logspace(9, 10, 10)
norm = Normalize(vmin=8, vmax=11,clip=False) # controls the min and max of the colorbar
smap = ScalarMappable(cmap=cmap, norm=norm)
for xi, yi, Mi in zip(x, y, M):
c = cmap(norm(np.log10(Mi))) # make sure to color by log of mass, not mass
sp.errorbar(
xi,
yi,
yerr=[[.1], [.1]],
xerr=[[.1], [.1]],
ecolor=c,
marker='o',
mec=c,
mfc=c
)
cb = plt.colorbar(smap)
cb.set_label(r'$\log_{10}M$')
I am getting the following error:
TypeError: You must first set_array for mappable
For matplotlib < 3.1, you need to set an array - which can be empty
sm = ScalarMappable(cmap=cmap, norm=norm)
sm.set_array([])
fig.colorbar(sm)
For matplotlib >= 3.1, this is not necessary any more.
sm = ScalarMappable(cmap=cmap, norm=norm)
fig.colorbar(sm)

Matplotlib 3d - setting ticks for another axis

How to set ticks to be on the opposite axes please? When I drop it the axes changes but not in this way. Thank you
import matplotlib as mpl
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
mpl.rcParams['legend.fontsize'] = 10
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
theta = np.linspace(-4 * np.pi, 4 * np.pi, 100)
z = np.linspace(-2, 2, 100)
r = z**2 + 1
x = r * np.sin(theta)
y = r * np.cos(theta)
ax.plot(x, y, z, label='parametric curve')
ax.legend()
plt.show()

How to set linewidth of axis in 3d plot in python?

How to set linewidth of axis in 3d plot in python? Is it somehow possible with mpl.rcParams?
Code:
import matplotlib as mpl
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
mpl.rcParams['legend.fontsize'] = 10
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
theta = np.linspace(-4 * np.pi, 4 * np.pi, 100)
z = np.linspace(-2, 2, 100)
r = z**2 + 1
x = r * np.sin(theta)
y = r * np.cos(theta)
ax.plot(x, y, z, label='parametric curve')
ax.legend()
plt.show()
Try this:
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, linewidth=1)

Axis label missing

I am trying to create a 3D plot but I am having trouble with the z-axis label. It simply doesn't appear in the graph. How do I amend this? The code is as follows
# Gamma vs Current step 2
import matplotlib as mpl
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
h = np.arange(0.1,5.1,0.1)
gamma = np.arange(0.1,5.1,0.1)
sigmaz_hgam = np.array([.009998,.03988,.08878,.15403
,.230769,.312854,.394358,.4708311,.539697879,.6,.6518698
,.696033486,.73345752165,.7651390123,.792,.814845635

,.97919266,.98,.9807902])
mu = 1
sigmaz_hgam = mu*sigmaz_hgam
# creates an empty list for current values to be stored in
J1 = []
for i in range(sigmaz_hgam.size):
expec_sz = sigmaz_hgam[i]
J = 4*gamma[i]*(mu-expec_sz)
J1.append(J.real)
#print(J)
This part of the code is what is used to graph out which is where the problem lies
mpl.rcParams['legend.fontsize'] = 10
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
x = h
y = gamma
z = J1
ax.plot(x, y, z, label='Dephasing Model')
ax.legend()
ax.set_xlabel('h', fontsize=10)
ax.set_ylabel('$\gamma$')
ax.yaxis._axinfo['label']['space_factor'] = 3.0
for t in ax.zaxis.get_major_ticks(): t.label.set_fontsize(10)
# disable auto rotation
ax.zaxis.set_rotate_label(False)
ax.set_zlabel('J', fontsize=10, rotation = 0)
plt.show()
On my version of Matplotlib (2.0.2), on a Mac, I see the label (which is there – most of it is just being cropped out of the image in your case).
You could try to reduce the padding between the ticks and the label:
ax.zaxis.labelpad = 0

How to draw a graph using matplotlib?

draw a graph of equation in the form of y=mx+b in python3.x
example y = 5x + 9
This is a very general question. Try to be more specific. It depends how you want to draw it.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(0., 5., 0.2)
y = 5 * x + 9
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()
or
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(-1., 5., 0.2)
y = 5 * x + 9
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x,y)
ax.grid(True, which='both')
ax.axhline(y=0, color='k')
ax.axvline(x=0, color='k')
These are very basic drawing. You can create more sophisticated graphs, but you will have to be more specific in your question.
You can define your y(x) function and then plot it as follows:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def y(x):
return [5*i+9 for i in x]
x = range(0,10)
plt.plot(x,y(x))
plt.show()
This produces follwing graph:
With turtle
You can as well get a graph with turtle with following code for example:
from turtle import Turtle, Screen
def y(x):
return 5*x+9
def plotter(turtle, x_range):
turtle.penup()
for x in x_range:
turtle.goto(x, y(x))
turtle.pendown()
screen = Screen()
screen.setworldcoordinates(0, 0, 9, 60)
turtle = Turtle(visible=False)
x = range(0,10)
plotter(turtle, x)
screen.exitonclick()
Which produces:
