I have a multi index dataframe, with the two indices being Sample and Lithology
Sample 20EC-P 20EC-8 20EC-10-1 ... 20EC-43 20EC-45 20EC-54
Lithology Pd Di-Grd Gb ... Hbl Plag Pd Di-Grd Gb
Rb 7.401575 39.055118 6.456693 ... 0.629921 56.535433 11.653543
Ba 24.610102 43.067678 10.716841 ... 1.073115 58.520532 56.946630
Th 3.176471 19.647059 3.647059 ... 0.823529 29.647059 5.294118
I am trying to put it into a seaborn lineplot as such.
spider = sns.lineplot(data = data, hue = data.columns.get_level_values("Lithology"),
style = data.columns.get_level_values("Sample"),
dashes = False, palette = "deep")
The lineplot comes out as
I have two issues. First, I want to format hues by lithology and style by sample. Outside of the lineplot function, I can successfully access sample and lithology using data.columns.get_level_values
, but in the lineplot they don't seem to do anything and I haven't figured out another way to access these values. Also, the lineplot reorganizes the x-axis by alphabetical order. I want to force it to keep the same order as the dataframe, but I don't see any way to do this in the documentation.
To use hue=
and style=
, seaborn prefers it's dataframes in long form . pd.melt()
will combine all columns and create new columns with the old column names, and a column for the values. The index too needs to be converted to a regular column (with .reset_index()
).
Most seaborn functions use order=
to set an order on the x-values, but with lineplot
the only way is to make the column categorical applying a fixed order.
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
column_tuples = [('20EC-P', 'Pd '), ('20EC-8', 'Di-Grd'), ('20EC-10-1 ', 'Gb'),
('20EC-43', 'Hbl Plag Pd'), ('20EC-45', 'Di-Grd'), ('20EC-54', 'Gb')]
col_index = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(column_tuples, names=["Sample", "Lithology"])
data = pd.DataFrame(np.random.uniform(0, 50, size=(3, len(col_index))), columns=col_index, index=['Rb', 'Ba', 'Th'])
data_long = data.melt(ignore_index=False).reset_index()
data_long['index'] = pd.Categorical(data_long['index'], data.index) # make categorical, use order of the original dataframe
ax = sns.lineplot(data=data_long, x='index', y='value',
hue="Lithology", style="Sample", dashes=False, markers=True, palette="deep")
ax.set_xlabel('')
ax.legend(loc='upper left', bbox_to_anchor=(1.01, 1.02))
plt.tight_layout() # fit legend and labels into the figure
plt.show()
The long dataframe looks like:
index Sample Lithology value
0 Rb 20EC-P Pd 6.135005
1 Ba 20EC-P Pd 6.924961
2 Th 20EC-P Pd 44.270570
