matplotlib pcolormesh plot from x,y,z data

Question

I have data in a textfile in tableform with three columns. I use np.genfromtxt to read all the columns into matplotlib as x, y, z.

I want to create a color meshplot

Answer 1

I had the same problem and agree with Gustav Larsson's suggestion to use

scatter(x, y, c=z)

In my particular case, I set the linewidths of the scatter points to zero:

scatter(x, y, c=z, linewidths=0)

of course, you can play around with other decorations, color schemes etc., the reference of matplotlib.pyplot.scatter will help you further.
