Example 2: how to do scatter plot in pyplot

import numpy as npimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Create data
N = 500x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
colors = (0,0,0)
area = np.pi*3
# Plot
plt.scatter(x, y, s=area, c=colors, alpha=0.5)
plt.title('Scatter plot pythonspot.com')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('y')
plt.show()
