Stacked bar chart#
This is an example of creating a stacked bar plot with error bars
using bar
. Note the parameters yerr used for
error bars, and bottom to stack the women's bars on top of the men's
bars.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
labels = ['G1', 'G2', 'G3', 'G4', 'G5']
men_means = [20, 35, 30, 35, 27]
women_means = [25, 32, 34, 20, 25]
men_std = [2, 3, 4, 1, 2]
women_std = [3, 5, 2, 3, 3]
width = 0.35 # the width of the bars: can also be len(x) sequence
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.bar(labels, men_means, width, yerr=men_std, label='Men')
ax.bar(labels, women_means, width, yerr=women_std, bottom=men_means,
label='Women')
ax.set_ylabel('Scores')
ax.set_title('Scores by group and gender')
ax.legend()
plt.show()
