Question

我正在浏览Think Stats，我想直观地比较多个数据集。我可以从书中的例子看到，通过使用书籍作者提供的模块，如何在pyplot中获得相同的结果，可以为每个数据集生成一个具有不同颜色的交错条形图？

Answer 1

文档中提供了一个精彩的示例/演示：

Answer 2

多次调用条形函数，每个系列一个。您可以使用left参数控制条形的左侧位置，您可以使用它来防止重叠。

完全未经测试的代码：

pyplot.bar( numpy.arange(10) * 2, data1, color = 'red' )
pyplot.bar( numpy.arange(10) * 2 + 1, data2, color = 'red' )

与绘制数据的地方相比，Data2将在右侧移动。

Answer 3

前一段时间我遇到了这个问题并创建了一个包装器函数，它接受一个2D数组并自动创建一个多条形图：

Multi-category bar chart

代码：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import operator as o

import numpy as np

dpoints = np.array([['rosetta', '1mfq', 9.97],
           ['rosetta', '1gid', 27.31],
           ['rosetta', '1y26', 5.77],
           ['rnacomposer', '1mfq', 5.55],
           ['rnacomposer', '1gid', 37.74],
           ['rnacomposer', '1y26', 5.77],
           ['random', '1mfq', 10.32],
           ['random', '1gid', 31.46],
           ['random', '1y26', 18.16]])

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

def barplot(ax, dpoints):
    '''
    Create a barchart for data across different categories with
    multiple conditions for each category.

    @param ax: The plotting axes from matplotlib.
    @param dpoints: The data set as an (n, 3) numpy array
    '''

    # Aggregate the conditions and the categories according to their
    # mean values
    conditions = [(c, np.mean(dpoints[dpoints[:,0] == c][:,2].astype(float))) 
                  for c in np.unique(dpoints[:,0])]
    categories = [(c, np.mean(dpoints[dpoints[:,1] == c][:,2].astype(float))) 
                  for c in np.unique(dpoints[:,1])]

    # sort the conditions, categories and data so that the bars in
    # the plot will be ordered by category and condition
    conditions = [c[0] for c in sorted(conditions, key=o.itemgetter(1))]
    categories = [c[0] for c in sorted(categories, key=o.itemgetter(1))]

    dpoints = np.array(sorted(dpoints, key=lambda x: categories.index(x[1])))

    # the space between each set of bars
    space = 0.3
    n = len(conditions)
    width = (1 - space) / (len(conditions))

    # Create a set of bars at each position
    for i,cond in enumerate(conditions):
        indeces = range(1, len(categories)+1)
        vals = dpoints[dpoints[:,0] == cond][:,2].astype(np.float)
        pos = [j - (1 - space) / 2. + i * width for j in indeces]
        ax.bar(pos, vals, width=width, label=cond, 
               color=cm.Accent(float(i) / n))

    # Set the x-axis tick labels to be equal to the categories
    ax.set_xticks(indeces)
    ax.set_xticklabels(categories)
    plt.setp(plt.xticks()[1], rotation=90)

    # Add the axis labels
    ax.set_ylabel("RMSD")
    ax.set_xlabel("Structure")

    # Add a legend
    handles, labels = ax.get_legend_handles_labels()
    ax.legend(handles[::-1], labels[::-1], loc='upper left')

barplot(ax, dpoints)
plt.show()

交错条形图的Matplotlib example code适用于任意实值x坐标（如@ db42所述）。

但是，如果你的x坐标是分类值（就像linked question中的字典一样），从分类x坐标到真实x坐标的转换是麻烦且不必要的。

您可以使用matplotlib的api直接并排绘制两个词典。绘制两个相互偏移的条形图的技巧是设置align=edge和正宽度（+width）以绘制一个条形图，而负宽度（-width）用于绘制一个条形图。密谋另一个。

为绘制两个词典而修改的示例代码如下所示：

"""
========
Barchart
========

A bar plot with errorbars and height labels on individual bars
"""
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Uncomment the following line if you use ipython notebook
# %matplotlib inline

width = 0.35       # the width of the bars

men_means = {'G1': 20, 'G2': 35, 'G3': 30, 'G4': 35, 'G5': 27}
men_std = {'G1': 2, 'G2': 3, 'G3': 4, 'G4': 1, 'G5': 2}

rects1 = plt.bar(men_means.keys(), men_means.values(), -width, align='edge',
                yerr=men_std.values(), color='r', label='Men')

women_means = {'G1': 25, 'G2': 32, 'G3': 34, 'G4': 20, 'G5': 25}
women_std = {'G1': 3, 'G2': 5, 'G3': 2, 'G4': 3, 'G5': 3}

rects2 = plt.bar(women_means.keys(), women_means.values(), +width, align='edge',
                yerr=women_std.values(), color='y', label='Women')

# add some text for labels, title and axes ticks
plt.xlabel('Groups')
plt.ylabel('Scores')
plt.title('Scores by group and gender')
plt.legend()

def autolabel(rects):
    """
    Attach a text label above each bar displaying its height
    """
    for rect in rects:
        height = rect.get_height()
        plt.text(rect.get_x() + rect.get_width()/2., 1.05*height,
                '%d' % int(height),
                ha='center', va='bottom')

autolabel(rects1)
autolabel(rects2)

plt.show()
