Generating Reports with Python: PDF or HTML to PDF

Question

Using maptplotlib I have created 9 graphs which are combined in to a single pdf using the command savefig . However I need to be able to show the statistical analysis below each plot with .describe() . What would be the best way to do this?

Answer 1

There are multiple possibilities:

• http://pbpython.com/pdf-reports.html
• http://gael-varoquaux.info/computers/pyreport/
• https://github.com/JanSchulz/knitpy

For the last, have a look at https://github.com/JanSchulz/knitpy/tree/master/examples , the docx, pdf and html versions were generated from the .pymd source. The example includes both pandas.DataFrame s and matplotlib figures.

Answer 2

Pandas has the possibility to include a table with a plot. See the table kwarg to pandas.DataFrame.plot . See the docs: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/visualization.html#visualization-table
