===========================
Scatter plots with a legend
===========================

To create a scatter plot with a legend one may use a loop and create one
`~.Axes.scatter` plot per item to appear in the legend and set the ``label``
accordingly.

The following also demonstrates how transparency of the markers
can be adjusted by giving ``alpha`` a value between 0 and 1.

# Automated legend creation
# -------------------------
#
# Another option for creating a legend for a scatter is to use the
# :class:`~matplotlib.collections.PathCollection`'s
# :meth:`~.PathCollection.legend_elements` method.
# It will automatically try to determine a useful number of legend entries
# to be shown and return a tuple of handles and labels. Those can be passed
# to the call to :meth:`~.axes.Axes.legend`.


N = 45
x, y = np.random.rand(2, N)
c = np.random.randint(1, 5, size=N)
s = np.random.randint(10, 220, size=N)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

scatter = ax.scatter(x, y, c=c, s=s)

# produce a legend with the unique colors from the scatter
legend1 = ax.legend(*scatter.legend_elements(),
                    loc="lower left", title="Classes")
ax.add_artist(legend1)

# produce a legend with a cross section of sizes from the scatter
handles, labels = scatter.legend_elements(prop="sizes", alpha=0.6)
legend2 = ax.legend(handles, labels, loc="upper right", title="Sizes")

plt.show()

# Further arguments to the :meth:`~.PathCollection.legend_elements` method
# can be used to steer how many legend entries are to be created and how they
# should be labeled. The following shows how to use some of them.

# we normalize it to some useful point sizes, s=0.3*(price*3)**2

# rankings, we only want to show 5 of them in the legend.
legend1 = ax.legend(*scatter.legend_elements(num=5),
                    loc="upper left", title="Ranking")
ax.add_artist(legend1)

# Produce a legend for the price (sizes). Because we want to show the prices
# in dollars, we use the *func* argument to supply the inverse of the function
# used to calculate the sizes from above. The *fmt* ensures to show the price
# in dollars. Note how we target at 5 elements here, but obtain only 4 in the
# created legend due to the automatic round prices that are chosen for us.
kw = dict(prop="sizes", num=5, color=scatter.cmap(0.7), fmt="$ {x:.2f}",
          func=lambda s: np.sqrt(s/.3)/3)
legend2 = ax.legend(*scatter.legend_elements(**kw),
                    loc="lower right", title="Price")
