Question

I have below data,

Am trying to plot bar chart in matplotlib using below code,

    pyplot.bar(gender, ward, width, color='orange')
    pyplot.bar(count, gender, width, color='tomato')

Below is the result,

My expectation is as below which is created in excel,

Any suggestion will be helpful to get the same in matplotlib

Answer 1

You could achieve that very easy withseaborn.barplot .

import seaborn as sns
sns.barplot(data=df, x='Ward', y='Count', hue='Gender', palette=['orange', 'tomato']) #df is the dataframe you showed as example

Without seaborn, you could pivot your data before plotting it. Like this:

df.pivot(index='Ward', columns='Gender', values='Count').plot(kind='bar', color=['orange', 'tomato'])
plt.ylabel('Count')
