ggplot绘制柱状图 python_如何使用ggplot2在ipython笔记本中制作直方图（for python）...

I'm trying to make a histogram of a simple list of numbers in python using ipython notebook and ggplot for python. Using pylab, it's easy enough, but I cannot get ggplot to work.

I'm using this code (based on the diamond histogram example, which does work for me):

from ggplot import *

a = [1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6]

p = ggplot(aes(x='carat'), data=a)

p + geom_hist() + ggtitle("Histogram of Diamond Carats") + labs("Carats", "Freq")

Using ipython & pylab, I can make a histogram with just hist(a) and it displays. How do I make a histogram come up using ggplot?

If you just want to make a histogram of the numbers in your vector 'a', there are a couple of problems.

First, ggplot accepts data in the form of a pandas Dataframe, so you need to build that first.

import pandas as pd

a = [1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 5, 6]

df = pd.DataFrame(a, columns=['a'])

Second, the geom is geom_histogram() not geom_hist(). And finally, it looks like you're throwing in code from one of the example plots of the diamond data. You don't need that, so I've removed it.

from ggplot import *

p = ggplot(aes(x='a'), data=df)

p + geom_histogram(binwidth=1)
