Horizontal plot in swarmplot of seaborn

Question

Situation
I have the following pandas dataset:

|user_id|total|is_fat|
|-------|-----|------|
|1      |100  |1     |
|2      |150  |0     |
|3      |400  |1     |
|4      |500  |1     |
|5      |10   |0     |

where elements of the total are integer and elements of is_fat are string.

I denote above dataset by df .

Then run the following code:

import seaborn as sos
sns.swarmplot(x = 'total', y ='is_fat', data = df)

Now the graph I expected looks like:

Problem However, the output graph is the following:

Why?

If I convert '1' to 'fat' and '0' to 'not_fat', then I get the expected graph.

Answer 1

I have simulated some data and changed is_fat to categorical as shown:

import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame({"total":abs(np.random.randn(100)), "is_fat": [1,0]*50})
df.is_fat = df.is_fat.astype("category")
sns.swarmplot(x = 'total', y ='is_fat', data = df)

This produced the graph below:

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

对我来说，将orient="h"作为参数添加到我的swarmplot()调用中解决了这个问题（请参阅 Seaborn 文档以供参考）。
