In the question: Matplotlib Colormap with two parameter a code has been provided to produce a circle plot with a colormap depending on 2 parameters. I'm looking to reproduce this using Matplotlib.pyplot.hexbin() . Goal is to produce hexbins, that change color according to a certain input parameter and change the transparency according to the count of the datapoints in the hexbins. I also thought about varying the alpha parameter, but it only accepts constant values. Another idea would be to plot only partial maps with hexbins within a certain count range each (e.g. 1-10), for example if there was an equivalent 'maxcnt'-attribute to the 'mincnt'-attribute.
Any ideas on how this could be done?
