pandas.Series.plot¶
- Series.plot(data, kind='line', ax=None, figsize=None, use_index=True, title=None, grid=None, legend=False, style=None, logx=False, logy=False, loglog=False, xticks=None, yticks=None, xlim=None, ylim=None, rot=None, fontsize=None, colormap=None, table=False, yerr=None, xerr=None, label=None, secondary_y=False, **kwds)¶
Make plots of Series using matplotlib / pylab.
Parameters : data : Series
kind : str
- ‘line’ : line plot (default)
- ‘bar’ : vertical bar plot
- ‘barh’ : horizontal bar plot
- ‘hist’ : histogram
- ‘box’ : boxplot
- ‘kde’ : Kernel Density Estimation plot
- ‘density’ : same as ‘kde’
- ‘area’ : area plot
- ‘pie’ : pie plot
ax : matplotlib axes object
If not passed, uses gca()
figsize : a tuple (width, height) in inches
use_index : boolean, default True
Use index as ticks for x axis
title : string
Title to use for the plot
grid : boolean, default None (matlab style default)
Axis grid lines
legend : False/True/’reverse’
Place legend on axis subplots
style : list or dict
matplotlib line style per column
logx : boolean, default False
Use log scaling on x axis
logy : boolean, default False
Use log scaling on y axis
loglog : boolean, default False
Use log scaling on both x and y axes
xticks : sequence
Values to use for the xticks
yticks : sequence
Values to use for the yticks
xlim : 2-tuple/list
ylim : 2-tuple/list
rot : int, default None
Rotation for ticks
fontsize : int, default None
Font size for ticks
colormap : str or matplotlib colormap object, default None
Colormap to select colors from. If string, load colormap with that name from matplotlib.
colorbar : boolean, optional
If True, plot colorbar (only relevant for ‘scatter’ and ‘hexbin’ plots)
position : float
Specify relative alignments for bar plot layout. From 0 (left/bottom-end) to 1 (right/top-end). Default is 0.5 (center)
layout : tuple (optional)
(rows, columns) for the layout of the plot
table : boolean, Series or DataFrame, default False
If True, draw a table using the data in the DataFrame and the data will be transposed to meet matplotlib’s default layout. If a Series or DataFrame is passed, use passed data to draw a table.
yerr : DataFrame, Series, array-like, dict and str
See Plotting with Error Bars for detail.
xerr : same types as yerr.
label : label argument to provide to plot
secondary_y : boolean or sequence of ints, default False
If True then y-axis will be on the right
mark_right : boolean, default True
When using a secondary_y axis, automatically mark the column labels with “(right)” in the legend
kwds : keywords
Options to pass to matplotlib plotting method
Returns : axes : matplotlib.AxesSubplot or np.array of them
Notes
- See matplotlib documentation online for more on this subject
- If kind = ‘bar’ or ‘barh’, you can specify relative alignments for bar plot layout by position keyword. From 0 (left/bottom-end) to 1 (right/top-end). Default is 0.5 (center)
