how to plot labeled data with different colors
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = [4,8,12,16,1,4,9,16]
y = [1,4,9,16,4,8,12,3]
label = [0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3]
colors = ['red','green','blue','purple']
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8,8))
plt.scatter(x, y, c=label, cmap=matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap(colors))
cb = plt.colorbar()
loc = np.arange(0,max(label),max(label)/float(len(colors)))
cb.set_ticks(loc)
cb.set_ticklabels(colors)
