Draw one histogram of the DataFrameâs columns.
A histogram is a representation of the distribution of data. This function groups the values of all given Series in the DataFrame into bins and draws all bins in one matplotlib.axes.Axes
. This is useful when the DataFrameâs Series are in a similar scale.
Column in the DataFrame to group by.
Changed in version 1.4.0: Previously, by is silently ignore and makes no groupings
Number of histogram bins to be used.
Additional keyword arguments are documented in DataFrame.plot()
.
matplotlib.axes.Axes
Return a histogram plot.
Examples
When we roll a die 6000 times, we expect to get each value around 1000 times. But when we roll two dice and sum the result, the distribution is going to be quite different. A histogram illustrates those distributions.
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(1, 7, 6000), columns=["one"]) >>> df["two"] = df["one"] + np.random.randint(1, 7, 6000) >>> ax = df.plot.hist(bins=12, alpha=0.5)
A grouped histogram can be generated by providing the parameter by (which can be a column name, or a list of column names):
>>> age_list = [8, 10, 12, 14, 72, 74, 76, 78, 20, 25, 30, 35, 60, 85] >>> df = pd.DataFrame({"gender": list("MMMMMMMMFFFFFF"), "age": age_list}) >>> ax = df.plot.hist(column=["age"], by="gender", figsize=(10, 8))
