I am trying to use subplots in matplotlib.
I have a dataframe that looks like this:
| FY_YYYY_Q | Gender | Head Count | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2017 Q4 | Female | 220 |
| 1 | 2017 Q4 | Male | 200 |
and I need to pass it to the plots parameter as a dictionary:
{'2017 Q4': {'Values': 220, 200}, {'Labels': Female, Male}}
Quite new to Python, so I don't know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
so first things first, the definition of your dictionary is very wrong the correct form should be something like this:
dict = {key: value}
# so in your case I fixed it to be like this:
d = {'2017 Q4': ({'Values': (220, 200)}, {'Labels': ("Female", "Male")})}
# and this is still very counter intuitive, so use this instead:
d = {'2017 Q4':(220,200)}
# and just make it so in the code the first value is female and the next is male
as for how to make a plot from the dictionary use this code:
a_dictionary = {"values": (220,210), "labels": ("female","male")}
labels = a_dictionary["labels"]
values = a_dictionary["values"]
plt.bar(labels, values)
