Circle Plot with Color Bar

Question

I'm trying to do a Circle Plot with a Color Bar, almost like this:

However, the minimum value of the colour bar is currently 1; I would like to be able to set it to 0.

import pandas            as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm     as cm
from sklearn import preprocessing

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,1,2,3,4,2,1,4], 
                   'B':[3,1,5,1,2,4,5,2,3], 
                   'C':[4,2,4,1,3,3,4,2,1]})

# set the Colour
x              = df.values
min_max_scaler = preprocessing.MinMaxScaler()
x_scaled       = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(x)
df_S           = pd.DataFrame(x_scaled)
c1             = df['C']
c2             = df_S[2]
colors         = [cm.jet(color) for color in c2]

# Graph
plt.figure()
ax = plt.gca()
for a, b, color in zip(df['A'], df['B'], colors):
    circle = plt.Circle((a, 
                         b), 
                         1, # Size
                         color=color, 
                         lw=5, 
                         fill=False)
    ax.add_artist(circle)

plt.xlim([0,5])
plt.ylim([0,5])
plt.xlabel('A')
plt.ylabel('B')
ax.set_aspect(1.0)

sc = plt.scatter(df['A'], 
                 df['B'], 
                 s=0, 
                 c=c1, 
                 cmap='jet', 
                 facecolors='none')
plt.grid()

cbar = plt.colorbar(sc)
cbar.set_label('C', rotation=270, labelpad=10)

plt.show()

Answer 1

Thanks to alec_djinn this answer does:

• Set the min & max values of the colour bar
• Control the colour of the circles (variable C) on the same range as the colour bar

import pandas            as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm     as cm
from sklearn import preprocessing
from matplotlib.colors import Normalize

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,1,2,3,4,2,1,4], 
                   'B':[3,2,5,1,2,4,5,2,3], 
                   'C':[4,2,4,1,3,3,4,2,1]})

# set the Colour
x              = df[['C']].values
min_max_scaler = preprocessing.MinMaxScaler()
x_scaled       = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(x)
df_S           = pd.DataFrame(x_scaled)
c1             = df['C']
c2             = df_S[0]
cmap           = cm.jet # Use the same Cmap

# Set the Colour Scale
vmin = 0
vmax = 5
norm = Normalize(vmin, vmax)

# Graph
plt.figure()
ax = plt.gca()
for a, b, c in zip(df['A'], df['B'], df['C']):
    circle = plt.Circle((a, 
                         b), 
                         1, # Size
                         color=cmap(norm(c)), 
                         lw=5, 
                         fill=False)
    ax.add_artist(circle)
plt.xlim([0,5])
plt.ylim([0,5])
plt.xlabel('A')
plt.ylabel('B')
ax.set_aspect(1.0)
sc = plt.scatter(df['A'], 
                 df['B'], 
                 s=0, 
                 c=c1, 
                 cmap='jet', # Use the same Cmap
                 vmin = vmin,
                 vmax = vmax,
                 facecolors='none')
plt.grid()
cbar = plt.colorbar(sc)
cbar.set_label('C', rotation=270, labelpad=20)

plt.show()
