无法将字符串转换为float - Pandas Read Column

Question

我正在尝试使用Pandas绘制给定输入的散点图。我收到以下错误。

输入：

tweetcricscore  34 #afgvssco   51
tweetcricscore  23 #afgvszim   46
tweetcricscore  24 #banvsire   12
tweetcricscore  456 #banvsned  46
tweetcricscore  653 #canvsnk   1
tweetcricscore  789 #cricket   178
tweetcricscore  625 #engvswi   46
tweetcricscore  86 #hkvssco    23
tweetcricscore  3 #indvsban    1
tweetcricscore  87 #sausvsvic  8
tweetcricscore  98 #wt20       56

代码：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pylab import*
import math
from matplotlib.ticker import LogLocator
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('input.csv', header = None)

df.columns = ['col1','col2','col3','col4']

plt.scatter(x='col2', y='col4', s=120, c='b', label='Highly Active')

plt.legend(loc='upper right')
plt.xlabel('Freq (x)')
plt.ylabel('Freq(y)')
#plt.gca().set_xscale("log")
#plt.gca().set_yscale("log")
plt.show()

我试图在散点图中将col [1]和col [3]数据点作为对绘制。

错误

Answer 1

这是您的错误消息：

File "00_scatter_plot.py", line 14, in <module>
    plt.scatter(x='col2', y='col3', s=120, c='b', label='Highly Active')
ValueError: could not convert string to float: col2

正如您所看到的，您正在尝试将字符串“col2”转换为float。

通过查看您的代码，您似乎想要这样的事情：

plt.scatter(x=df['col2'], y=df['col4'], s=120, c='b', label='Highly Active')

而不是：

plt.scatter(x='col2', y='col4', s=120, c='b', label='Highly Active')

Answer 2

尝试改变：

plt.scatter(x='col2', y='col4', s=120, c='b', label='Highly Active')

为：

df.plot.scatter(x='col2', y='col4', s=120, c='b', label='Highly Active')

它对我有用：
