I want to mark certain indices in the line plot. I have referred to the following question on stack overflow and written the following:
plt.plot(range(len(y)), y, '-bD', markevery=rare_cases, label='%s' % target_var_name)
However, this produces the following:
How can I keep the line plot in blue but make the markers in red ?
From the documentation of plt.plot:
matplotlib.pyplot.plot(*args, scalex=True, scaley=True, data=None, **kwargs)
The function takes **kwargs:
**kwargsLine2D properties, optional kwargs are used to specify properties like a line label (for auto legends), line-width, antialiasing, marker face color [...] Here is a list of available Line2D properties: [...]
markeredgecolor or mec color
markeredgewidth or mew float
markerfacecolor or mfc color
markerfacecoloralt or mfcalt color
So, you can feed markerfacecolor and markeredgecolor as keyword arguments:
x = np.random.randint(0,10,5)
y = np.random.randint(0,10,5)
plt.plot(x, y, '-bD', c='blue', mfc='red', mec='k')
