Seaborn条形图-不同的y轴值？

Question

I am very new to coding and just really stuck with a graph I am trying to produce for a Uni assignment

This is what it looks like

I am pretty happy with the styling my concern is with the y axis. I understand that because I have one value much higher than the rest it is difficult to see the true values of the values further down the scale.

Is there anyway to change this? Or can anyone recommend a different grah type that may show this data mor clearly?

Thanks!

You can try using a combination of ScalarFormatter on the y-axis and MultipleLocator to specify the tick-frequency of the y-axis values. You can read more about customising tricks for data-visualisations here Customising tricks for visualising data in Python

import numpy as np
import seaborn.apionly as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker

ax_data = sns.barplot(x= PoliceForce, y = TotalNRMReferrals) # change as per how you are plotting, just for an example
ax_data.yaxis.set_major_locator(ticker.MultipleLocator(40)) # it would have a tick frequency of 40, change 40 to the tick-frequency you want.
ax_data.yaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.ScalarFormatter())
plt.show()

Based on your current graph, I would suggest lowering the tick-frequency (try with values lower than 100, say 50 for instance). This would present the graph in a more readable fashion. I hope this helps answer your question.
