Plot scatter decorated

An example showing the scatter function, with decorations.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

n = 1024
X = np.random.normal(0, 1, n)
Y = np.random.normal(0, 1, n)

T = np.arctan2(Y,X)

plt.scatter(X, Y, s=75, c=T, alpha=.5)
plt.xlim(-1.5, 1.5)
plt.xticks([])
plt.ylim(-1.5, 1.5)
plt.yticks([])
