[英]Matplotlib: how to plot a line with categorical data on the x-axis?
I am trying to plot a few lines (not a bar plot, as in this case ). 我试图绘制几行 (不是条形图,就像在这种情况下 )。 My y values are
float
, whereas x values are categorical data
. 我的y值是
float
,而x值是categorical data
。 How to do this in matplotlib
? 如何在
matplotlib
执行此操作?
My values: 我的价值观:
data1=[5.65,7.61,8.17,7.60,9.54]
data2=[7.61,16.17,16.18,19.54,19.81]
data3=[29.55,30.24,31.51,36.40,35.47]
My categories: 我的分类:
x_axis=['A','B','C','D','E']
The code I am using, which does not give me what I want: 我正在使用的代码,它没有给我我想要的东西:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure() #Creates a new figure
ax1=fig.add_subplot(111) #Plot with: 1 row, 1 column, first subplot.
line1 = ax1.plot(str(x_axis), data1,'ko-',label='line1') #Plotting data1
line2 = ax1.plot(str(x_axis), data2,'ro-',label='line2') #Plotting data2
line3 = ax1.plot(str(x_axis), data3,'mo-',label='line3') #Plotting data3
plt.xticks(range(len(data3)), x_axis, size='small')
ax1.set_ylim(0,51)
ax1.set_ylabel('y values',fontsize=12)
#Assigning labels
lines = line1+line2+line3
labels = [l.get_label() for l in lines]
ax1.legend(lines,labels,loc='upper center', prop={'size':10}, bbox_to_anchor=(0.5, -0.13), fancybox=True, shadow=True, ncol=5)
ax1.set_xlabel('Categories',fontsize=14)
plt.setp(ax2.get_xticklabels(), visible=True)
title_string=('Plotting categories vs y values in matplotlib')
plt.suptitle(title_string, y=1.0, fontsize=17)
fig.tight_layout()
fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.92,bottom=0.2)
plt.show()
plt.savefig('myplot.jpg',bbox_inches='tight')
plt.close()
Your code looks incorrect with regards to some syntax: 您的代码在某些语法方面看起来不正确:
line1 = ax1.plot(data1,'ko-',label='line1') #no need for str(x_axis)
line2 = ax1.plot(data2,'ro-',label='line2')
line3 = ax1.plot(data3,'mo-',label='line3')
and 和
plt.setp(ax1.get_xticklabels(), visible=True) #not ax2
When I fixed these the plotting worked fine, your line 当我修复这些时,绘图工作正常,你的线
plt.xticks(range(len(data3)), x_axis, size='small')
is a correct way to assign a list to the x axis. 是一个将列表分配给x轴的正确方法。
Matplotlib version 2.1.0 allows plotting categorical variables directly , just calling plt.plot(x,y)
as usual, without the need to use range
or get_xticklabels()
. Matplotlib版本2.1.0允许直接绘制分类变量 ,只需像往常一样调用
plt.plot(x,y)
,而无需使用range
或get_xticklabels()
。
line1 = plt.plot(x_axis, data1,'ko-',label='line1')
line2 = plt.plot(x_axis, data2,'ro-',label='line2')
line3 = plt.plot(x_axis, data3,'mo-',label='line3')
