Chord colors | PlotAPI Docs

The color scheme can be set to one of many beautiful presets, or even a customized by supplying a list of colors (HEX, RGB, etc.).

Sample data

Let's import PlotAPI and load our sample data.

from plotapi import Chord

matrix = [
    [0, 5, 6, 4, 7, 4],
    [5, 0, 5, 4, 6, 5],
    [6, 5, 0, 4, 5, 5],
    [4, 4, 4, 0, 5, 5],
    [7, 6, 5, 5, 0, 4],
    [4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 0],
]

names = ["Action", "Adventure", "Comedy", "Drama", "Fantasy", "Thriller"]

Demonstration

To specify chord colors, we can set the colors parameter to one of the following:

A list of color strings, e.g. ["#264653","#2a9d8f","#e9c46a","#f4a261","#e76f51"]. If there are fewer colors than there are categories, PlotAPI Chord will loop round the colors.
The name of a color scheme from one of the many beautuful presets.

The default color scheme is "rainbow". Let's try a few different color schemes.

Chord(matrix, names, colors="cool").show()
