没有颜色条的解决方案
没有颜色条的解决方案相当简单。您需要创建一个颜色的palette(颜色与值一样多)并使用palette 参数将其提供给swarmplot。
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
print sns.__version__ # swarmplot requires version 0.7.1
# Reconstruct the dataframe from the question (the hardest part)
a = [1,4,5,6,3,4,5,6]
c = [12,35,12,46,78,45,34,70]
key = [1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2]
key = ["{k}{a}".format(k=k, a={1:"st", 2:"nd"}[k]) for k in key]
df =pd.DataFrame({"a":a, "c":c, "Key":key})
palette = sns.light_palette("seagreen", reverse=False, n_colors=len(c) )
sns.swarmplot(x='Key', y = 'a', hue='c',s=20, data = df, palette=palette)
plt.show()
颜色条解决方案
使用颜色条的解决方案需要更多的工作。
我们需要从 seaborn 调色板构造一个颜色图,标准化这个颜色图并创建一个颜色字典,对应于来自 df["c"] 数据框列的相应颜色。然后我们再次使用palette 关键字将这个字典提供给swarmplot。
我们还需要移除自动生成但无用的图例,然后在绘图中创建一个新轴以放置颜色条。
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.colorbar
import matplotlib.colors
import matplotlib.cm
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable
import seaborn as sns
# recreate the dataframe
a = [1,4,5,6,3,4,5,6]
c = [12,35,12,46,78,45,34,70]
key = [1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2]
key = ["{k}{a}".format(k=k, a={1:"st", 2:"nd"}[k]) for k in key]
df =pd.DataFrame({"a":a, "c":c, "Key":key})
#Create a matplotlib colormap from the sns seagreen color palette
cmap = sns.light_palette("seagreen", reverse=False, as_cmap=True )
# Normalize to the range of possible values from df["c"]
norm = matplotlib.colors.Normalize(vmin=df["c"].min(), vmax=df["c"].max())
# create a color dictionary (value in c : color from colormap)
colors = {}
for cval in df["c"]:
colors.update({cval : cmap(norm(cval))})
#create a figure
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5,2.8))
#plot the swarmplot with the colors dictionary as palette
m = sns.swarmplot(x='Key', y = 'a', hue="c", s=20, data = df, palette = colors)
# remove the legend, because we want to set a colorbar instead
plt.gca().legend_.remove()
## create colorbar ##
divider = make_axes_locatable(plt.gca())
ax_cb = divider.new_horizontal(size="5%", pad=0.05)
fig.add_axes(ax_cb)
cb1 = matplotlib.colorbar.ColorbarBase(ax_cb, cmap=cmap,
norm=norm,
orientation='vertical')
cb1.set_label('Some Units')
plt.show()
