Series.hist(by=None, ax=None, grid=True, xlabelsize=None, xrot=None, ylabelsize=None, yrot=None, figsize=None, bins=10, backend=None, legend=False, **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.
legendbool, default False: Whether to show the legend.
