Annotate bars with values on Pandas bar plots
(4 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I would like to create an annotation to a bar chart that compares the value of the bar to two reference values. An overlay such as shown in the picture, a kind of staff gauge, is possible, but I'm open to more elegant solutions.
The bar chart is generated with the pandas API to matplotlib (e.g. data.plot(kind="bar")), so a plus would be if the solution is playing nicely with that.
You may use smaller bars for the target and benchmark indicators. Pandas cannot annotate bars automatically, but you can simply loop over the values and use matplotlib's pyplot.annotate instead.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
a = np.random.randint(5,15, size=5)
t = (a+np.random.normal(size=len(a))*2).round(2)
b = (a+np.random.normal(size=len(a))*2).round(2)
df = pd.DataFrame({"a":a, "t":t, "b":b})
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
df["a"].plot(kind='bar', ax=ax, legend=True)
df["b"].plot(kind='bar', position=0., width=0.1, color="lightblue",legend=True, ax=ax)
df["t"].plot(kind='bar', position=1., width=0.1, color="purple", legend=True, ax=ax)
for i, rows in df.iterrows():
plt.annotate(rows["a"], xy=(i, rows["a"]), rotation=0, color="C0")
plt.annotate(rows["b"], xy=(i+0.1, rows["b"]), color="lightblue", rotation=+20, ha="left")
plt.annotate(rows["t"], xy=(i-0.1, rows["t"]), color="purple", rotation=-20, ha="right")
ax.set_xlim(-1,len(df))
plt.show()
There's no direct way to annotate a bar plot (as far as I am aware) Some time ago I needed to annotate one so I wrote this, perhaps you can adapt it to your needs.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.set_xlim(-0.2, 3.2)
ax.grid(b=True, which='major', color='k', linestyle=':', lw=.5, zorder=1)
# x,y data
x = np.arange(4)
y = np.array([5, 12, 3, 7])
# Define upper y limit leaving space for the text above the bars.
up = max(y) * .03
ax.set_ylim(0, max(y) + 3 * up)
ax.bar(x, y, align='center', width=0.2, color='g', zorder=4)
# Add text to bars
for xi, yi, l in zip(*[x, y, list(map(str, y))]):
ax.text(xi - len(l) * .02, yi + up, l,
bbox=dict(facecolor='w', edgecolor='w', alpha=.5))
ax.set_xticks(x)
ax.set_xticklabels(['text1', 'text2', 'text3', 'text4'])
ax.tick_params(axis='x', which='major', labelsize=12)
plt.show()
I have a DataFrame and need to make a scatter-plot from it.
I need to use 2 columns as the x-axis and y-axis and only need to plot 2 rows from the entire dataset. Any suggestions?
For example, my dataframe is below (50 states x 4 columns). I need to plot 'rgdp_change' on the x-axis vs 'diff_unemp' on the y-axis, and only need to plot for the states, "Michigan" and "Wisconsin".
So from the dataframe, you'll need to select the rows from a list of the states you want: ['Michigan', 'Wisconsin']
I also figured you would probably want a legend or some way to differentiate one point from the other. To do this, we create a colormap assigning a different color to each state. This way the code is generalizable for more than those two states.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import matplotlib.colors as colors
# generate a random df with the relevant rows, columns to your actual df
df = pd.DataFrame({'State':['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Michigan', 'Wisconsin'], 'real_gdp':[1.75*10**5, 4.81*10**4, 2.59*10**5, 1.04*10**5],
'rgdp_change': [-0.4, 0.5, 0.4, -0.5], 'diff_unemp': [-1.3, 0.4, 0.5, -11]})
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
states = ['Michigan', 'Wisconsin']
colormap = cm.viridis
colorlist = [colors.rgb2hex(colormap(i)) for i in np.linspace(0, 0.9, len(states))]
for i,c in enumerate(colorlist):
x = df.loc[df["State"].isin(['Michigan', 'Wisconsin'])].rgdp_change.values[i]
y = df.loc[df["State"].isin(['Michigan', 'Wisconsin'])].diff_unemp.values[i]
legend_label = states[i]
ax.scatter(x, y, label=legend_label, s=50, linewidth=0.1, c=c)
ax.legend()
plt.show()
Use the dataframe plot method, but first filter the sates you need using index isin method:
states = ["Michigan", "Wisconsin"]
df[df.index.isin(states)].plot(kind='scatter', x='rgdp_change', y='diff_unemp')
I have a few Pandas DataFrames sharing the same value scale, but having different columns and indices. When invoking df.plot(), I get separate plot images. what I really want is to have them all in the same plot as subplots, but I'm unfortunately failing to come up with a solution to how and would highly appreciate some help.
You can manually create the subplots with matplotlib, and then plot the dataframes on a specific subplot using the ax keyword. For example for 4 subplots (2x2):
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=2)
df1.plot(ax=axes[0,0])
df2.plot(ax=axes[0,1])
...
Here axes is an array which holds the different subplot axes, and you can access one just by indexing axes.
If you want a shared x-axis, then you can provide sharex=True to plt.subplots.
You can see e.gs. in the documentation demonstrating joris answer. Also from the documentation, you could also set subplots=True and layout=(,) within the pandas plot function:
df.plot(subplots=True, layout=(1,2))
You could also use fig.add_subplot() which takes subplot grid parameters such as 221, 222, 223, 224, etc. as described in the post here. Nice examples of plot on pandas data frame, including subplots, can be seen in this ipython notebook.
You can plot multiple subplots of multiple pandas data frames using matplotlib with a simple trick of making a list of all data frame. Then using the for loop for plotting subplots.
Working code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# dataframe sample data
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df3 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df4 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df5 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
df6 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,2)*100, columns=['A', 'B'])
#define number of rows and columns for subplots
nrow=3
ncol=2
# make a list of all dataframes
df_list = [df1 ,df2, df3, df4, df5, df6]
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrow, ncol)
# plot counter
count=0
for r in range(nrow):
for c in range(ncol):
df_list[count].plot(ax=axes[r,c])
count+=1
Using this code you can plot subplots in any configuration. You need to define the number of rows nrow and the number of columns ncol. Also, you need to make list of data frames df_list which you wanted to plot.
You can use the familiar Matplotlib style calling a figure and subplot, but you simply need to specify the current axis using plt.gca(). An example:
plt.figure(1)
plt.subplot(2,2,1)
df.A.plot() #no need to specify for first axis
plt.subplot(2,2,2)
df.B.plot(ax=plt.gca())
plt.subplot(2,2,3)
df.C.plot(ax=plt.gca())
etc...
You can use this:
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(221)
plt.plot(x,y)
ax = fig.add_subplot(222)
plt.plot(x,z)
...
plt.show()
You may not need to use Pandas at all. Here's a matplotlib plot of cat frequencies:
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 400)
y = np.sin(x**2)
f, axes = plt.subplots(2, 1)
for c, i in enumerate(axes):
axes[c].plot(x, y)
axes[c].set_title('cats')
plt.tight_layout()
Option 1: Create subplots from a dictionary of dataframes with long (tidy) data
Assumptions:
There is a dictionary of multiple dataframes of tidy data that are either:
Created by reading in from files
Created by separating a single dataframe into multiple dataframes
The categories, cat, may be overlapping, but all dataframes don't necessarily contain all values of cat
hue='cat'
This example uses a dict of dataframes, but a list of dataframes would be similar.
If the dataframes are wide, use pandas.DataFrame.melt to convert them to long form.
Because dataframes are being iterated through, there's no guarantee that colors will be mapped the same for each plot
A custom color map needs to be created from the unique 'cat' values for all the dataframes
Since the colors will be the same, place one legend to the side of the plots, instead of a legend in every plot

Create color mappings and plot
# create color mapping based on all unique values of cat
unique_cat = {cat for v in df_dict.values() for cat in v.cat.unique()} # get unique cats
colors = sns.color_palette('tab10', n_colors=len(unique_cat)) # get a number of colors
cmap = dict(zip(unique_cat, colors)) # zip values to colors
col_nums = 3 # how many plots per row
row_nums = math.ceil(len(df_dict) / col_nums) # how many rows of plots
# create the figue and axes

# iterate through dictionary and plot
for ax, (k, v) in zip(axes, df_dict.items()):
sns.scatterplot(data=v, x='x', y='y', hue='cat', palette=cmap, ax=ax)
sns.despine(top=True, right=True)
ax.legend_.remove() # remove the individual plot legends
ax.set_title(f'dataset = {k}', fontsize=11)
fig.tight_layout()
# create legend from cmap

# place legend outside of plot; change the right bbox value to move the legend up or down
plt.legend(title='cat', handles=patches, bbox_to_anchor=(1.06, 1.2), loc='center left', borderaxespad=0, frameon=False)
plt.show()
Option 2: Create subplots from a single dataframe with multiple separate datasets
The dataframes must be in a long form with the same column names.
This option uses pd.concat to combine multiple dataframes into a single dataframe, and .assign to add a new column.
See Import multiple csv files into pandas and concatenate into one DataFrame for creating a single dataframes from a list of files.
This option is easier because it doesn't require manually mapping colors to 'cat'
Combine DataFrames
# using df_dict, with dataframes as values, from the top
# combine all the dataframes in df_dict to a single dataframe with an identifier column
df = pd.concat((v.assign(dataset=k) for k, v in df_dict.items()), ignore_index=True)
# display(df.head())

Plot a FacetGrid with seaborn.relplot
sns.relplot(kind='scatter', data=df, x='x', y='y', hue='cat', col='dataset', col_wrap=3, height=3)
Both options create the same result, however, it's less complicated to combine all the dataframes, and plot a figure-level plot with sns.relplot.
Building on #joris response above, if you have already established a reference to the subplot, you can use the reference as well. For example,
ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((50,100), (0, 0), colspan=20, rowspan=10)
...
df.plot.barh(ax=ax1, stacked=True)
Here is a working pandas subplot example, where modes is the column names of the dataframe.
dpi=200
figure_size=(20, 10)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(len(modes), 1, sharex="all", sharey="all", dpi=dpi)
for i in range(len(modes)):
ax[i] = pivot_df.loc[:, modes[i]].plot.bar(figsize=(figure_size[0], figure_size[1]*len(modes)),
ax=ax[i], title=modes[i], color=my_colors[i])
ax[i].legend()
fig.suptitle(name)
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
imoprt matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(2,2)
df = pd.DataFrame({'A':np.random.randint(1,100,10),
'B': np.random.randint(100,1000,10),
'C':np.random.randint(100,200,10)})
for ax in ax.flatten():
df.plot(ax =ax)
I want to display two Pandas dataframes within one figure as boxplots.
As each of the two dataframes has different value range, I would like to have them combined in a twinx figure.
Reduced to the minimum, I have tried the following:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,100,size=(100, 4)), columns=list('ABCD'))
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(100,200,size=(100, 2)), columns=list('EF'))
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
df1.boxplot(ax=ax1)
df2.boxplot(ax=ax2)
plt.show()
The result is expectedly not what it should look like (there should be 6 boxes on the plot, actually!)
How can I manage to have the boxplots next to each other?
I tried to set some dummy scatter points on ax1 and ax2, but this did not really help.
The best solution is to concatenate the data frames for plotting and to use a mask. In the creation of the mask, we use the dfs == dfs | dfs.isnull() to create a full matrix with True and then we query on all column names that are not 'E' or 'F'. This gives a 2D matrix that allows you to only plot the first four boxes, as the last two two are masked (so their ticks do appear at the bottom). With the inverse mask ~mask you plot the last two on their own axis and mask the first four.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint( 0,100,size=(100, 4)), columns=list('ABCD'))
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(100,200,size=(100, 2)), columns=list('EF' ))
dfs = pd.concat([df1, df2])
mask = ((dfs == dfs) | dfs.isnull()) & (dfs.columns != 'E') & (dfs.columns != 'F')
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()
dfs[mask].boxplot()
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
dfs[~mask].boxplot()
plt.show()
