Pyplot plot function

Question

Given below is the code for plotting points using pyplot.

x1=300+p[k]*math.cos(val[thetaval])
y1=300+p[k]*math.sin(val[thetaval])
plt.plot(x1,y1,'k.')

The plotting is working fine, the problem is, if I want to plot it as a point I am specifying the dot in 'k.' inside the plot function. The output is something like:

enter image description here

The width of the black line/curve that I am plotting is much more that needed. How to reduce it?

It seems that you are not plotting a line but a series of small points. Maybe if you try setting the markersize argument of the plot function could work.

Looking into the documentation of plot() you can find "linewidth"

So use:

plt.plot(x1,y1,'k.', linewidth=0.1)

I tried that already. The width is not decreasing. I also tried lw, still no change.

user3433065 Over a year ago

so what about using linewidth... they got an example: plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3], 'go-', label='line 1', linewidth=2) linewidth or lw = float value in points

Tried linewidth, no change. I referred the documentation. Is there anyway it is not working because I am plotting points and not a line?

Yes, try it. Also the linewidth = 0.5 , 1 , 0.01. Couldn't find the the interval for that and I cant test for you from this PC :)
