xorbits.pandas.DataFrame.hist#

DataFrame.hist(column: IndexLabel = None, by=None, grid: bool = True, xlabelsize: int | None = None, xrot: float | None = None, ylabelsize: int | None = None, yrot: float | None = None, ax=None, sharex: bool = False, sharey: bool = False, figsize: tuple[int, int] | None = None, layout: tuple[int, int] | None = None, bins: int | Sequence[int] = 10, backend: str | None = None, legend: bool = False, **kwargs)#

Make a histogram of the DataFrame’s columns.

A histogram is a representation of the distribution of data. This function calls matplotlib.pyplot.hist(), on each series in the DataFrame, resulting in one histogram per column.

Parameters

data (DataFrame) – The pandas object holding the data.
column (str or sequence, optional) – If passed, will be used to limit data to a subset of columns.
by (object, optional) – If passed, then used to form histograms for separate groups.
grid (bool, default True) – Whether to show axis grid lines.
xlabelsize (int, default None) – If specified changes the x-axis label size.
xrot (float, default None) – Rotation of x axis labels. For example, a value of 90 displays the x labels rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
ylabelsize (int, default None) – If specified changes the y-axis label size.
yrot (float, default None) – Rotation of y axis labels. For example, a value of 90 displays the y labels rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
ax (Matplotlib axes object, default None) – The axes to plot the histogram on.
sharex (bool, default True if ax is None else False) – In case subplots=True, share x axis and set some x axis labels to invisible; defaults to True if ax is None otherwise False if an ax is passed in. Note that passing in both an ax and sharex=True will alter all x axis labels for all subplots in a figure.
sharey (bool, default False) – In case subplots=True, share y axis and set some y axis labels to invisible.
figsize (tuple, optional) – The size in inches of the figure to create. Uses the value in matplotlib.rcParams by default.
layout (tuple, optional) – Tuple of (rows, columns) for the layout of the histograms.
bins (int or sequence, default 10) – Number of histogram bins to be used. If an integer is given, bins + 1 bin edges are calculated and returned. If bins is a sequence, gives bin edges, including left edge of first bin and right edge of last bin. In this case, bins is returned unmodified.
backend (str, default None) –
Backend to use instead of the backend specified in the option plotting.backend. For instance, ‘matplotlib’. Alternatively, to specify the plotting.backend for the whole session, set pd.options.plotting.backend.

New in version 1.0.0.
legend (bool, default False) –
Whether to show the legend.

New in version 1.1.0.
**kwargs – All other plotting keyword arguments to be passed to matplotlib.pyplot.hist().

Return type

matplotlib.AxesSubplot or numpy.ndarray of them
