pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.hist

property DataFrameGroupBy.hist

Make a histogram of the DataFrame’s columns.

A histogram is a representation of the distribution of data. This function calls matplotlib.pyplot.hist(), on each series in the DataFrame, resulting in one histogram per column.

Parameters:

dataDataFrame

The pandas object holding the data.

columnstr or sequence, optional

If passed, will be used to limit data to a subset of columns.

byobject, optional

If passed, then used to form histograms for separate groups.

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. For example, a value of 90 displays the x labels rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

ylabelsizeint, default None

If specified changes the y-axis label size.

yrotfloat, default None

Rotation of y axis labels. For example, a value of 90 displays the y labels rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

axMatplotlib axes object, default None

The axes to plot the histogram on.

sharexbool, default True if ax is None else False

In case subplots=True, share x axis and set some x axis labels to invisible; defaults to True if ax is None otherwise False if an ax is passed in. Note that passing in both an ax and sharex=True will alter all x axis labels for all subplots in a figure.

shareybool, default False

In case subplots=True, share y axis and set some y axis labels to invisible.

figsizetuple, optional

The size in inches of the figure to create. Uses the value in matplotlib.rcParams by default.

layouttuple, optional

Tuple of (rows, columns) for the layout of the histograms.

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.

New in version 1.1.0.

**kwargs

All other plotting keyword arguments to be passed to matplotlib.pyplot.hist().

Returns:

matplotlib.AxesSubplot or numpy.ndarray of them

Examples

This example draws a histogram based on the length and width of some animals, displayed in three bins

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
...     'length': [1.5, 0.5, 1.2, 0.9, 3],
...     'width': [0.7, 0.2, 0.15, 0.2, 1.1]
...     }, index=['pig', 'rabbit', 'duck', 'chicken', 'horse'])
>>> hist = df.hist(bins=3)
