Circular dot on matplotlib barh graph - matplotlib

Question

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'y':['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i']\
,'x':[10,9,9,8,7,6,10,6,7]})
df.sort_values(by='x',inplace=True,ascending = True)
plt.barh(bottom=list(range(1,10)), width=df.x, height = 0.15, align='center',color = 'blue')
plt.xlim([0,11])
plt.yticks(list(range(1,10)),skills.y)
plt.show()
This code gives me a horizontal bar graph.
I want to add a circular dot at the edge of each bars.
Can someone please help me with that.
Tableau graph
I did this in tableau, I want to replicate the same in python.
Also, please let me know if there a better way of coding the same.
I am using Anaconda Python 3.5, Matplotlib library, Windows 10, Idlex IDE

Answer 1

You could just add a scatterplot on top of your bars, using matplotlib scatter function.
Also, note that you could use the numpy.arange function to generate your x values, instead of your current list(range(1,10)).
See example below
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'y':['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i'],
'x':[10,9,9,8,7,6,10,6,7]})
df.sort_values(by='x',inplace=True,ascending = True)
plt.barh(bottom=np.arange(len(df)), width=df.x, height = 0.15, align='center',color = 'blue')
plt.scatter(df.x.values, y=np.arange(df.shape[0]), color='b', s=40)
plt.xlim([0,11])
plt.yticks(np.arange(len(df)),df.y)
plt.show()
