Four Types of Bar Charts in Python - Based on Tabular Data

Simple Bar Charts in Python Based on Tabular Data

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'x': ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'],
                   'y': [50, 30, 70, 80, 60]})

plt.bar(df['x'], df['y'], align='center', width=0.5, color='b', label='data')
plt.xlabel('X axis')
plt.ylabel('Y axis')
plt.title('Bar chart')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Grouped bar chart based on Tabular Data in Python

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Prepare the data
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'group': ['G1', 'G2', 'G3', 'G4', 'G5'],
    'men_means': [20, 35, 30, 35, 27],
    'women_means': [25, 32, 34, 20, 25]
})
ind = np.arange(len(df))  # x-axis position
width = 0.35  # width of each bar

# Plot the bar chart
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
rects1 = ax.bar(ind, df['men_means'], width, color='r')
rects2 = ax.bar(ind + width, df['women_means'], width, color='y')

# Add labels, legend, and axis labels
ax.set_xticks(ind + width / 2)
ax.set_xticklabels(df['group'])
ax.legend((rects1[0], rects2[0]), ('Men', 'Women'))
ax.set_xlabel('Groups')
ax.set_ylabel('Scores')

# Display the plot
plt.show()

Percent stacked bar chart based on Tabular Data in Python

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

# Prepare the data
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'x': ['Group 1', 'Group 2', 'Group 3', 'Group 4', 'Group 5'],
    'y1': [10, 20, 30, 25, 30],
    'y2': [20, 25, 30, 15, 20],
    'y3': [30, 30, 25, 20, 10]
})

# calculate percentage
y_percent = df.iloc[:, 1:].div(df.iloc[:, 1:].sum(axis=1), axis=0) * 100

# plot the chart
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.bar(df['x'], y_percent.iloc[:, 0], label='Series 1', color='r')
ax.bar(df['x'], y_percent.iloc[:, 1], bottom=y_percent.iloc[:, 0], label='Series 2', color='g')
ax.bar(df['x'], y_percent.iloc[:, 2], bottom=y_percent.iloc[:, :2].sum(axis=1), label='Series 3', color='b')

# Display the plot
plt.show()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
