用pd.plot绘制彩色柱状图

import pandas as pd 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.cm as cm 
import numpy as np 

df = pd.DataFrame({'days':[172, 200, 400, 600]}) 
colors = cm.RdYlGn(np.linspace(0,1,len(df))) 
df['days'].plot(kind='barh', color=colors) 
plt.show() 

柱子上的数字显示可以使用这个方法

for a,b in zip(np.arange(0,21),df.values):   
    plt.text(a,b,'%.2f'%b,ha='center',va='bottom',fontsize=10);
