Python matplotlib multiple bars

提问by John Smith

How to plot multiple bars in matplotlib, when I tried to call the bar function multiple times, they overlap and as seen the below figure the highest value red can be seen only. How can I plot the multiple bars with dates on the x-axes?

如何在 matplotlib 中绘制多个条形图，当我尝试多次调用 bar 函数时，它们重叠，如下图所示，只能看到最高值红色。如何在 x 轴上绘制带有日期的多个条形图？

So far, I tried this:

到目前为止，我试过这个：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import datetime

x = [
    datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 4, 0, 0),
    datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 5, 0, 0),
    datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 6, 0, 0)
]
y = [4, 9, 2]
z = [1, 2, 3]
k = [11, 12, 13]

ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.bar(x, y, width=0.5, color='b', align='center')
ax.bar(x, z, width=0.5, color='g', align='center')
ax.bar(x, k, width=0.5, color='r', align='center')
ax.xaxis_date()

plt.show()

I got this:

我懂了：

The results should be something like, but with the dates are on the x-axes and bars are next to each other:

结果应该是这样的，但日期在 x 轴上，条形彼此相邻：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.dates import date2num
import datetime

x = [
    datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 4, 0, 0),
    datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 5, 0, 0),
    datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 6, 0, 0)
]
x = date2num(x)

y = [4, 9, 2]
z = [1, 2, 3]
k = [11, 12, 13]

ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.bar(x-0.2, y, width=0.2, color='b', align='center')
ax.bar(x, z, width=0.2, color='g', align='center')
ax.bar(x+0.2, k, width=0.2, color='r', align='center')
ax.xaxis_date()

plt.show()

I don't know what's the "y values are also overlapping" means, does the following code solve your problem?

我不知道“y 值也重叠”是什么意思，以下代码是否解决了您的问题？

ax = plt.subplot(111)
w = 0.3
ax.bar(x-w, y, width=w, color='b', align='center')
ax.bar(x, z, width=w, color='g', align='center')
ax.bar(x+w, k, width=w, color='r', align='center')
ax.xaxis_date()
ax.autoscale(tight=True)

plt.show()

The trouble with using dates as x-values, is that if you want a bar chart like in your second picture, they are going to be wrong. You should either use a stacked bar chart (colours on top of each other) or group by date (a "fake" date on the x-axis, basically just grouping the data points).

使用日期作为 x 值的麻烦在于，如果您想要像第二张图片中那样的条形图，它们将是错误的。您应该使用堆积条形图（颜色相互叠加）或按日期分组（x 轴上的“假”日期，基本上只是对数据点进行分组）。

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

N = 3
ind = np.arange(N)  # the x locations for the groups
width = 0.27       # the width of the bars

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

yvals = [4, 9, 2]
rects1 = ax.bar(ind, yvals, width, color='r')
zvals = [1,2,3]
rects2 = ax.bar(ind+width, zvals, width, color='g')
kvals = [11,12,13]
rects3 = ax.bar(ind+width*2, kvals, width, color='b')

ax.set_ylabel('Scores')
ax.set_xticks(ind+width)
ax.set_xticklabels( ('2011-Jan-4', '2011-Jan-5', '2011-Jan-6') )
ax.legend( (rects1[0], rects2[0], rects3[0]), ('y', 'z', 'k') )

def autolabel(rects):
    for rect in rects:
        h = rect.get_height()
        ax.text(rect.get_x()+rect.get_width()/2., 1.05*h, '%d'%int(h),
                ha='center', va='bottom')

autolabel(rects1)
autolabel(rects2)
autolabel(rects3)

plt.show()

I did this solution: if you want plot more than one plot in one figure, make sure before plotting next plots you have set right matplotlib.pyplot.hold(True)to able adding another plots.

我做了这个解决方案：如果您想在一个图中绘制多个图，请确保在绘制下一个图之前您已设置matplotlib.pyplot.hold(True)为能够添加另一个图。

About datetime values on X axe, solution using alignment of bars works for me. When you create another bar plot with matplotlib.pyplot.bar(), just use align='edge|center'and set width='+|-distance'.

关于 X 轴上的日期时间值，使用条形对齐的解决方案对我有用。当您创建另一个条形图时matplotlib.pyplot.bar()，只需使用align='edge|center'并设置width='+|-distance'。

When you set all bars (plots) right, you will see bars fine.

当您正确设置所有条形（图）时，您会看到条形很好。

I know that this is about matplotlib, but using pandasand seaborncan save you a lot of time:

我知道这是关于matplotlib，但是使用pandas和seaborn可以为您节省大量时间：

df = pd.DataFrame(zip(x*3, ["y"]*3+["z"]*3+["k"]*3, y+z+k), columns=["time", "kind", "data"])
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
sns.barplot(x="time", hue="kind", y="data", data=df)
plt.show()

after looking for a similar solution and not finding anything flexible enough, I decided to write my own function for it. It allows you to have as many bars per group as you wish and specify both the width of a group as well as the individual widths of the bars within the groups.

在寻找类似的解决方案并没有找到任何足够灵活的解决方案后，我决定为它编写自己的函数。它允许您根据需要为每个组设置尽可能多的条形，并指定组的宽度以及组内条形的单个宽度。

def bar_plot(ax, data, colors=None, total_width=0.8, single_width=1, legend=True):
    """Draws a bar plot with multiple bars per data point.

    Parameters
    ----------
    ax : matplotlib.pyplot.axis
        The axis we want to draw our plot on.

    data: dictionary
        A dictionary containing the data we want to plot. Keys are the names of the
        data, the items is a list of the values.

        Example:
        data = {
            "x":[1,2,3],
            "y":[1,2,3],
            "z":[1,2,3],
        }

    colors : array-like, optional
        A list of colors which are used for the bars. If None, the colors
        will be the standard matplotlib color cyle. (default: None)

    total_width : float, optional, default: 0.8
        The width of a bar group. 0.8 means that 80% of the x-axis is covered
        by bars and 20% will be spaces between the bars.

    single_width: float, optional, default: 1
        The relative width of a single bar within a group. 1 means the bars
        will touch eachother within a group, values less than 1 will make
        these bars thinner.

    legend: bool, optional, default: True
        If this is set to true, a legend will be added to the axis.
