有箱线图,想要用值标记中位数和胡须

标签: python pandas dataframe matplotlib boxplot

我有一个pandas数据框,其中包含按照"帖子类型细分的Facebook帖子上的数据。"数据帧被称为" Posts_by_type"它包含#喜欢,#of shares和post的类型。有三种类型的帖子:赛车,娱乐和促销。

我想在matplotlib中创建一个boxplot,显示每种帖子的喜欢数量。

我的代码有效:

Posts_by_type.boxplot(column='Likes', by='Type', grid=True)

这会产生以下方框图:

但是,我还想在箱线图上标注中间值和胡须以及相应的数值。

这在matplotlib中是否可行?如果是这样,有人可以给我一些关于如何做的指示吗?

一种解决方案,它还会添加框的值。

# This should return a dict, but gives me a Series object, soo...
bp_dict = series_values_as_dict(bp_series)
#Now add the values
add_values(bp_dict, axes)
# Set a label on X-axis for each boxplot
labels = get_x_tick_labels(posts_by_type, 'Type')
plt.xticks(range(1, len(labels) + 1), labels)
# Change some other texts on the graphs?
plt.title('Likes per type of post', fontsize=22)
plt.xlabel('Type', fontsize=18)
plt.ylabel('Likes', fontsize=18)
plt.suptitle('This is a pretty graph')
plt.show()
