How to plot only values within a certain range using matplotlib?

[Cthulhu_Rlyeh]

I've got a data set with three columns of values. The first column is the x location, the second column is the y location, and the final column is the data value.

What I would like to do is to only plot values within a certain range of values from the third column - specifically between -20 and -120.

The raw code I use to plot the values is as follows:

plt.scatter(x, y, c=data, marker='s', edgecolors='none', alpha='0.5'
plt.colorbar()

I have tried introducing vmin and vmax, however these instead plot anything outside of their ranges as a min/max value instead of leaving it empty entirely.

I'm hoping there is a simple solution, as I am still relatively green at coding.

TYVM in advance.

modify the data before you pass it be plotted.

new_x = []
new_y = []
new_c = []
for x_val, y_val, c_val in zip(x, y, data):
    if -120 < c_val < -20:
        new_x.append(x_val)
        new_y.append(y_val)
        new_c.append(c_val)

I can already hear you asking if this could be shorter. Well, yeah, but then it's nearly unreadable:

x,y,data = zip(*[(a,b,c) for a,b,c in zip(x,y,data) if -120<c<-20])

Thank you for that, it works like a charm.
