pandas.core.style.Styler.background_gradient¶
- Styler.background_gradient(cmap='PuBu', low=0, high=0, axis=0, subset=None)¶
Color the background in a gradient according to the data in each column (optionally row). Requires matplotlib.
New in version 0.17.1.
Parameters: cmap: str or colormap
matplotlib colormap
low, high: float
compress the range by these values.
axis: int or str
1 or ‘columns’ for colunwise, 0 or ‘index’ for rowwise
subset: IndexSlice
a valid slice for data to limit the style application to
Returns: self
Notes
Tune low and high to keep the text legible by not using the entire range of the color map. These extend the range of the data by low * (x.max() - x.min()) and high * (x.max() - x.min()) before normalizing.
