I think you are looking for "scatter", with the "c" argument being your intensity value. You can pass the gist_rainbow colormap to the scatter function via the cmap argument. See these examples http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/scatter_demo.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/scatter_demo2.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
