[source]
Make plots of DataFrame using matplotlib / pylab.
New in version 0.17.0: Each plot kind has a corresponding method on the DataFrame.plot
accessor: df.plot(kind='line')
is equivalent to df.plot.line()
.
Parameters: |
y : label, position or list of label, positions, default None Allows plotting of one column versus another kind : str
subplots : boolean, default False Make separate subplots for each column sharex : boolean, default True if ax is None else False In case subplots=True, share x axis and set some x axis labels to invisible; defaults to True if ax is None otherwise False if an ax is passed in; Be aware, that passing in both an ax and sharex=True will alter all x axis labels for all axis in a figure! sharey : boolean, default False In case subplots=True, share y axis and set some y axis labels to invisible layout : tuple (optional) (rows, columns) for the layout of subplots
use_index : boolean, default True Use index as ticks for x axis title : string or list Title to use for the plot. If a string is passed, print the string at the top of the figure. If a list is passed and grid : boolean, default None (matlab style default) Axis grid lines legend : False/True/’reverse’ Place legend on axis subplots style : list or dict matplotlib line style per column logx : boolean, default False Use log scaling on x axis logy : boolean, default False Use log scaling on y axis loglog : boolean, default False Use log scaling on both x and y axes xticks : sequence Values to use for the xticks yticks : sequence Values to use for the yticks
rot : int, default None Rotation for ticks (xticks for vertical, yticks for horizontal plots) fontsize : int, default None Font size for xticks and yticks colormap : str or matplotlib colormap object, default None Colormap to select colors from. If string, load colormap with that name from matplotlib. colorbar : boolean, optional If True, plot colorbar (only relevant for ‘scatter’ and ‘hexbin’ plots) position : float Specify relative alignments for bar plot layout. From 0 (left/bottom-end) to 1 (right/top-end). Default is 0.5 (center) table : boolean, Series or DataFrame, default False If True, draw a table using the data in the DataFrame and the data will be transposed to meet matplotlib’s default layout. If a Series or DataFrame is passed, use passed data to draw a table. yerr : DataFrame, Series, array-like, dict and str See Plotting with Error Bars for detail.
stacked : boolean, default False in line and bar plots, and True in area plot. If True, create stacked plot. sort_columns : boolean, default False Sort column names to determine plot ordering secondary_y : boolean or sequence, default False Whether to plot on the secondary y-axis If a list/tuple, which columns to plot on secondary y-axis mark_right : boolean, default True When using a secondary_y axis, automatically mark the column labels with “(right)” in the legend `**kwds` : keywords Options to pass to matplotlib plotting method |

kind
= ‘bar’ or ‘barh’, you can specify relative alignments for bar plot layout by position
keyword. From 0 (left/bottom-end) to 1 (right/top-end). Default is 0.5 (center)kind
= ‘scatter’ and the argument c
is the name of a dataframe column, the values of that column are used to color each point.kind
= ‘hexbin’, you can control the size of the bins with the gridsize
argument. By default, a histogram of the counts around each (x, y)
point is computed. You can specify alternative aggregations by passing values to the C
and reduce_C_function
arguments. C
specifies the value at each (x, y)
point and reduce_C_function
is a function of one argument that reduces all the values in a bin to a single number (e.g. mean
, max
, sum
, std
).
