Matplotlib：如何在y轴上绘制分类数据？

Question

假设我有以下代码，来自here：

gender = ['male','male','female','male','female']

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from collections import Counter

c = Counter(gender)

men = c['male']
women = c['female']

bar_heights = (men, women)
x = (1, 2)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
width = 0.4

ax.bar(x, bar_heights, width)

ax.set_xlim((0, 3))
ax.set_ylim((0, max(men, women)*1.1))

ax.set_xticks([i+width/2 for i in x])
ax.set_xticklabels(['male', 'female'])

plt.show()

如何在y轴上绘制类别male和female，而不是x轴？

Answer 1

也许您正在寻找barh：

gender = ['male','male','female','male','female']

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from collections import Counter

c = Counter(gender)

men = c['male']
women = c['female']

bar_heights = (men, women)
y = (1, 2)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
width = 0.4

ax.barh(y, bar_heights, width)

ax.set_ylim((0, 3))
ax.set_xlim((0, max(men, women)*1.1))

ax.set_yticks([i+width/2 for i in y])
ax.set_yticklabels(['male', 'female'])

plt.show()
