Seaborn 和 Matplotlib xaxis 标签和行为

Question

我附上了 Seaborn plot ，我对此非常满意。 但是，可以修复两个（相关的？）事情。

首先，x 轴范围间距不规则； 1973 年和 2001 年似乎相隔“5 年”。

其次，我似乎无法将 RHS 上的 x 轴延伸到例如 2023 年，以减少那一侧的挤压。

环境

ax.set_xlim(1970,2022)

似乎只返回一个空白的 plot，这很奇怪。 关键代码和数据是：

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker

ax = sns.boxplot(x=Year, y=No_of_vars)#ax = sns.boxplot(data=[Year, No_of_vars])

#x.set_xlim(1970,2022)
## Sorting out the x-tick labels
loc = ticker.MultipleLocator(base=5.0) # this locator puts ticks at regular intervals
ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(loc)

## Axes style
ax.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=labelsize*1.2, top=True, right=True, direction='in', length=ticklength,   width=tickwidth)
ax.tick_params(axis='both', which='minor', labelsize=labelsize*1.2, top=True, right=True, direction='in', length=ticklength,   width=tickwidth)

Answer 1

箱线图的 x 轴是分类的。 在内部，它们有数字 0、1、...。然后它们得到一个字符串 label。 如果省略MultipleLocator并旋转标签（ ax.tick_params(axis='x', labelrotation=45) ），您可以看到给定的标签。

要为丢失的年份创建空白空间，最简单的方法是order=关键字。 在那里您可以设置所需的 x-ticks（及其顺序）。

设置ax.set_xlim(1970,2022)超出了从 0 到 48 的内部编号。一种方法可能是检索当前的 xlim ( ax.get_xlim() )，然后用一些额外的边距再次设置它们。
