hmmm... in response to John's earlier request I cobbled a simple example
but that seems to work; either there's a strange error in the more
complex version or my misunderstanding of color maps is messing with me.
Anyway, for the record, here's an example of what I want to do (that
actually seems to work)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Example to try and use same color maps for scatter and imshow
import numpy as np
from pylab import *
# size of array dimensions
size = 10
# cluster centers
acenter1 = 3.0
asigma1 = 1.0
bcenter1 = 6.0
bsigma1 = 0.5
acenter2 = 8.0
asigma2 = 2.0
bcenter2 = 3.0
bsigma2 = 1.0
acenter3 = 13.0
asigma3 = 2.0
bcenter3 = 10.0
bsigma3 = 1.0
# populate arrays with random values distrubted about 2 locations
# (i.e. 2 clusters)
a = np.zeros([size,size],float)
b = np.zeros([size,size],float)
c = np.zeros([size,size],int)
# populate arrays
for i in range(size):
for j in range(size):
switcher = np.random.randint(3)
if switcher == 0: # cluster 1
a[i,j] = np.random.normal(acenter1,asigma1)
b[i,j] = np.random.normal(bcenter1,bsigma1)
c[i,j] = 0
elif switcher == 1 : # cluster 2
a[i,j] = np.random.normal(acenter2,asigma2)
b[i,j] = np.random.normal(bcenter2,bsigma2)
c[i,j] = 1
else:
a[i,j] = np.random.normal(acenter3,asigma3)
b[i,j] = np.random.normal(bcenter3,bsigma3)
c[i,j] = 2
hot()
subplot(1,2,1)
scatter(np.ravel(a),np.ravel(b),c=np.ravel(c))
subplot(1,2,2)
imshow(c)
show()
