Once in a while I have to visualize simple 1D numerical data. So here is an example script:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 | #!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""Visualize C_0.99 for all languages except the 10 with most characters."""
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
def plot_1d(l, colors=None, xlabel='', ylabel=''):
"""Plot a 1D list l of numbers."""
ax = sns.barplot([i for i in range(len(l))],
l,
palette=colors)
ax.set(xlabel=xlabel, ylabel=ylabel, label='big')
ax.set_xticks([])
plt.savefig('example.pdf')
plt.savefig('example.png')
plt.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
