To make colorbar orientation horizontal in Python, we can use orientation="horizontal" in the argument.
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create random x, y and z data points using numpy.
- Create a figure and a set of subplots.
- Use scatter() method to plot x, y and z data points.
- Create a colorbar for a ScalarMappable instance, with horizontal orientation.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True x, y, z = np.random.rand(3, 50) f, ax = plt.subplots() points = ax.scatter(x, y, c=z, s=50, cmap="plasma") f.colorbar(points, orientation="horizontal") plt.show()
