Plotting histograms
Let's see how to plot histograms in this recipe. We'll compare two sets of data and build a comparative histogram.
How to do it…
- Create a new Python file, and import the following packages:
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
- We'll compare the production quantity of apples and oranges in this recipe. Let's define some values:
# Input data apples = [30, 25, 22, 36, 21, 29] oranges = [24, 33, 19, 27, 35, 20] # Number of groups num_groups = len(apples)
- Create the figure and define its parameters:
# Create the figure fig, ax = plt.subplots() # Define the X axis indices = np.arange(num_groups) # Width and opacity of histogram bars bar_width = 0.4 opacity = 0.6
- Plot the histogram:
# Plot the values hist_apples = plt.bar(indices, ...
