xorbits.pandas.DataFrame.plot.hexbin#

DataFrame.plot.hexbin(*args, **kwargs)#

Generate a hexagonal binning plot.

Generate a hexagonal binning plot of x versus y. If C is None (the default), this is a histogram of the number of occurrences of the observations at (x[i], y[i]).

If C is specified, specifies values at given coordinates (x[i], y[i]). These values are accumulated for each hexagonal bin and then reduced according to reduce_C_function, having as default the NumPy’s mean function (numpy.mean()). (If C is specified, it must also be a 1-D sequence of the same length as x and y, or a column label.)

Parameters
  • x (int or str (Not supported yet)) – The column label or position for x points.

  • y (int or str (Not supported yet)) – The column label or position for y points.

  • C (int or str, optional (Not supported yet)) – The column label or position for the value of (x, y) point.

  • reduce_C_function (callable, default np.mean (Not supported yet)) – Function of one argument that reduces all the values in a bin to a single number (e.g. np.mean, np.max, np.sum, np.std).

  • gridsize (int or tuple of (int, int), default 100 (Not supported yet)) – The number of hexagons in the x-direction. The corresponding number of hexagons in the y-direction is chosen in a way that the hexagons are approximately regular. Alternatively, gridsize can be a tuple with two elements specifying the number of hexagons in the x-direction and the y-direction.

  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments are documented in DataFrame.plot().

Returns

The matplotlib Axes on which the hexbin is plotted.

Return type

matplotlib.AxesSubplot

matplotlib.pyplot.hexbin

Hexagonal binning plot using matplotlib, the matplotlib function that is used under the hood.

Examples

The following examples are generated with random data from a normal distribution.

(Source code)

The next example uses C and np.sum as reduce_C_function. Note that ‘observations’ values ranges from 1 to 5 but the result plot shows values up to more than 25. This is because of the reduce_C_function.
