Boxplot Of Multiple Columns Of A Pandas Dataframe On The Same Figure (seaborn)
Answer :
The seaborn equivalent of
df.boxplot()
is
sns.boxplot(x="variable", y="value", data=pd.melt(df))
Complete example:
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(42) import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns df = pd.DataFrame(data = np.random.random(size=(4,4)), columns = ['A','B','C','D']) sns.boxplot(x="variable", y="value", data=pd.melt(df)) plt.show()
This works because pd.melt
converts a wide-form dataframe
A B C D 0 0.374540 0.950714 0.731994 0.598658 1 0.156019 0.155995 0.058084 0.866176 2 0.601115 0.708073 0.020584 0.969910 3 0.832443 0.212339 0.181825 0.183405
to long-form
variable value 0 A 0.374540 1 A 0.156019 2 A 0.601115 3 A 0.832443 4 B 0.950714 5 B 0.155995 6 B 0.708073 7 B 0.212339 8 C 0.731994 9 C 0.058084 10 C 0.020584 11 C 0.181825 12 D 0.598658 13 D 0.866176 14 D 0.969910 15 D 0.183405
You could use the built-in pandas method df.plot(kind='box') as suggested in this question.
I realize this answer will not help you if you have to use seaborn, but it may be useful for people with simpler requirements.
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(42) import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt df = pd.DataFrame(data = np.random.random(size=(4,4)), columns = ['A','B','C','D']) df.plot(kind='box') plt.show()
