pandas.Series.hist¶

Series.hist(self, by=None, ax=None, grid=True, xlabelsize=None, xrot=None, ylabelsize=None, yrot=None, figsize=None, bins=10, backend=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Draw histogram of the input series using matplotlib.

Parameters

byobject, optional: If passed, then used to form histograms for separate groups.
axmatplotlib axis object: If not passed, uses gca().
gridbool, default True: Whether to show axis grid lines.
xlabelsizeint, default None: If specified changes the x-axis label size.
xrotfloat, default None: Rotation of x axis labels.
ylabelsizeint, default None: If specified changes the y-axis label size.
yrotfloat, default None: Rotation of y axis labels.
figsizetuple, default None: Figure size in inches by default.
binsint or sequence, default 10: Number of histogram bins to be used. If an integer is given, bins + 1 bin edges are calculated and returned. If bins is a sequence, gives bin edges, including left edge of first bin and right edge of last bin. In this case, bins is returned unmodified.
backendstr, default None: Backend to use instead of the backend specified in the option plotting.backend. For instance, ‘matplotlib’. Alternatively, to specify the plotting.backend for the whole session, set pd.options.plotting.backend.

New in version 1.0.0.
**kwargs: To be passed to the actual plotting function.

Returns

matplotlib.AxesSubplot: A histogram plot.
