I am using a pyplot to draw loglog graph. Here is the code:
data = [...] # a list of int values
from scipy.stats import itemfreq
tmp = itemfreq(data) # Get the item frequencies
x = tmp[:, 0] # unique values in data
y = tmp[:, 1] # freq
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.loglog(x, y, basex=2, basey=2)
plt.show()
And I get this image:
But I don't want the data points to be connected by lines which seems very ugly. How can I do this?
You can give the plt.loglog() function several different keyword arguments which will change the format of your plot, such as linestyle, marker, and their respective colours.
data = [...] # a list of int values
from scipy.stats import itemfreq
tmp = itemfreq(data) # Get the item frequencies
x = tmp[:, 0] # unique values in data
y = tmp[:, 1] # freq
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.loglog(x, y, basex=2, basey=2, linestyle='None',
marker='x', markeredgecolor='red')
plt.show()
Alternatively you can give a string as a third positional argument which can select the formatting in a simpler way, such as plt.loglog(x, y, 'rx') which will give the same formatting as above (no line with red crosses). The format string arguments available can be found here.
