scatter(self, x, y, s=None, c=None, **kwargs)
The coordinates of each point are defined by two dataframe columns and filled circles are used to represent each point. This kind of plot is useful to see complex correlations between two variables. Points could be for instance natural 2D coordinates like longitude and latitude in a map or, in general, any pair of metrics that can be plotted against each other.
The column name or column position to be used as horizontal coordinates for each point.
The column name or column position to be used as vertical coordinates for each point.
The size of each point. Possible values are:
A string with the name of the column to be used for marker's size.
A single scalar so all points have the same size.
A sequence of scalars, which will be used for each point's size recursively. For instance, when passing [2,14] all points size will be either 2 or 14, alternatively.
The color of each point. Possible values are:
A single color string referred to by name, RGB or RGBA code, for instance 'red' or '#a98d19'.
A sequence of color strings referred to by name, RGB or RGBA code, which will be used for each point's color recursively. For instance ['green','yellow'] all points will be filled in green or yellow, alternatively.
A column name or position whose values will be used to color the marker points according to a colormap.

matplotlib.pyplot.scatter
Scatter plot using multiple input data formats.
Let's see how to draw a scatter plot using coordinates from the values in a DataFrame's columns.
.. plot::
('context', 'close-figs')
>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[5.1, 3.5, 0], [4.9, 3.0, 0], [7.0, 3.2, 1], ... [6.4, 3.2, 1], [5.9, 3.0, 2]], ... columns=['length', 'width', 'species']) >>> ax1 = df.plot.scatter(x='length', ... y='width', ... c='DarkBlue')
And now with the color determined by a column as well.
.. plot::
('context', 'close-figs')
See :>>> ax2 = df.plot.scatter(x='length', ... y='width', ... c='species', ... colormap='viridis')
Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
