custom styles maplotlib (.mplstyle) - python

After building a custom style and saving it in a ".mplstyle" folder, I then import this mplstyle into a new script. Unfortunately I get some errors.

I suspect it is something to do with how I format the ".mplstyle" file, but I'm not too sure. Let me know if you need further information about my computer or the script I'm running.
EDIT
Here's the code I use
# Example of Use
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#plt.style.use("codepan.mplstyle")
plt.style.use('ggplot')
n = 50
raw_data = np.random.randn(n)*10
plt.plot(raw_data)
plt.show()
Here's a snippet from the mplstyle file
lines.dashdot_pattern : [6.4, 1.6, 1.0, 1.6]
lines.dashed_pattern : [3.7, 1.6]
lines.dotted_pattern : [1.0, 1.65]

You want to remove the square brackets from those lines
i.e. they should look like:
lines.dashdot_pattern : 6.4, 1.6, 1.0, 1.6
lines.dashed_pattern : 3.7, 1.6
lines.dotted_pattern : 1.0, 1.65
See, for example, here in the classic.mplstyle example sheet.

shade area between 2 line plots ValueError: ordinal must be >= 1

I have the following code which correctly renders this:
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Temp')
plt.title('Min and Max temperature 2005-2014')
# Plotting on the first y-axis
minimum=new_df['min']
maximum=new_df['max']
plt.plot(new_df['Date'], new_df['min'], color='orange', label='Min')
plt.plot(new_df['Date'], new_df['max'], color='olive', label='Max')
Now I need to colour the area between the 2 lines:
I tried this:
plt.fill_between(minimum, maximum, color='#539ecd')
but then I get this error:

TypeError: ufunc 'isfinite' not supported for the input types, and the inputs could not be safely coerced to any supported types according to the casting rule ''safe''
Looks like the fill is being tried horizontally over the time axis, and minimum and maximum contain values that aren't dates. I've looked up the documentation:
matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between(x, y1, y2=0, where=None, interpolate=False, step=None, *, data=None, **kwargs)
That was the first error.
Then with numpy newer than 1.17.0, you could just do:
size = 500
minimum = np.random.normal(0, 100, size)
minimum.sort()
minimum = np.random.randint(250, 300, size) - np.abs(minimum)
df = pd.DataFrame(minimum,
pd.date_range("2005-01-01", periods=size, freq="d"),
columns=['min'],
)
df['max'] = df['min'] + np.random.randint(200, 250, size)
fig = df.plot()
fig.fill_between(df.index, df['min'], df['max'], color='#539ecd')
But from that second traceback, we can see that fill_between is trying ~(np.isfinite(a)) on all the axes. Which isn't supported on older numpy.datetime64, the type of your x-axis.
So we will have to use a numeric x-axis and then change the labels.
df = pd.DataFrame(minimum,
columns=['min'],
)
df['max'] = df['min'] + np.random.randint(200, 250, size)
fig = df.plot()
fig.fill_between(df.index, df['min'], df['max'], color='#539ecd')
# We take the original datetime axis
date_axis = pd.date_range("2005-01-01", periods=size, freq="d")
# and map a function from (axis, tick) -> wanted string
def label(axis, tick):
tick = int(tick)
if tick == len(axis):
tick -= 1
if 0 <= tick < len(axis):
return f"{axis[tick].year}-{axis[tick].month}"
else:
return ' '
fig.set_xticks(fig.get_xticks()) #silence a warning
fig.set_xticklabels(
[label(date_axis, tick) for tick in fig.get_xticks()]
)
fill_between takes the x coordinates as first argument. The following should work:
plt.fill_between(new_df["Date"], minimum, maximum, color="lemonchiffon")
Note that using matplotlib 3.4 I could not reproduce the error. Whether the values in Date were converted to dates or were left as strings, fill_between(minimum, maximum) does not throw an error but does produce unexpected plots.
Edit
Using numpy 1.11.3 and matplotlib 2.0.2, I've been able to reproduce the TypeError raises by np.isfinite (see this post for more information). Indeed this function supports datetime64 only from version 1.17. I highly suggest that you update the versions of matplotlib and numpy. However, using the earlier versions described in this paragraph, the error was bypassed by explicitly casting the dates:
plt.fill_between(np.array(new_df["Date"]), minimum, maximum, color='lemonchiffon')

TypeError with scatterplot and label

This seems pretty simple, but for some reason, I can't get it to work. This is in pandas 1.2.3 and matplotlib 3.4.0 running on an anaconda's python 3.8.8 on Windows 10 64-bit, inside a Jupyter notebook locally.
I've created a replication below. First, a working version; note the commented out label line:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df_test = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(1000, 4), columns=list("ABCD"))
df_test.plot(kind="scatter", x="A", y="B",
alpha=0.4,
figsize=(10,7),
#label="la la",
s=df_test["C"]*100,
c="D",
cmap=plt.get_cmap("jet"),
colorbar=True,
)
plt.legend()
Running the above gives a complaint No handles with labels found to put in legend (as expected) and some deprecation warnings, but shows a chart. The dots are nicely colored, and you might even see the empty legend box.
Now, uncomment the label line:
df_test.plot(kind="scatter", x="A", y="B",
alpha=0.4,
figsize=(10,7),
label="la la",
s=df_test["C"]*100,
c="D",
cmap=plt.get_cmap("jet"),
colorbar=True,
)
plt.legend()
and when I run this, I get a TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() error like the below:

It seems to be an interaction with the c= for the coloring and the label=. If I comment out the color stuff (c=, cmap, colorbar), the plot renders with a legend box, and we saw that it also works with colors included and label commented out. I also tried restarting the kernel, and had same results. I have not tried making new environments with other versions yet, as I wanted to see if this was just me, or something others could replicate.
(BTW, On Colab, python 3.7.10, pandas 1.1.5, matplotlib 3.2.2, the code does appear to work (with a minor figsize complaint), so could be something about the more recent versions of these packages, or my setup...)
So, please be kind, but could anyone point out what silly thing I'm missing here? Any suggestions? Anyone able to replicate?
Possibly a bug in the older version, as it runs fine on recent versions of matplotlib. Recommend to just updating the matplotlib and pandas. Don't linger over it too much.

ValueError in seaborn scatterplot with hue argument [duplicate]

I ran this scatter plot seaborn example from their own website,

Yesterday it did work. However, I ran an update of using conda update --all. Has something changed?
What's going on?
I run python on a Linux machine.
Pandas: 1.1.0.
Numpy: 1.19.1.
Seaborn api: 0.10.1.
This issue seems to be resolved for matplotlib==3.3.2.
seaborn: Scatterplot fails with matplotlib==3.3.1 #2194
With matplotlib version 3.3.1
A workaround is to send a list to hue, by using .tolist()
Use hue=tips.time.tolist().
The normal behavior adds a title to the legend, but sending a list to hue does not add the legend title.
The legend title can be added manually.
import seaborn as sns
# load data
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
# But adding 'hue' gives the error below:
ax = sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill", y="tip", hue=tips.time.tolist(), data=tips)
ax.legend(title='time') # add a title to the legend
I ran conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib==3.3.0 given known errors in 3.3.1.
A right answer, but not a great solution.

Passing list of colours to pandas .plot

I want to plot a line plot from a dataframe, one line for each column (the number of columns vary). e.g.
In:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df=pd.DataFrame (index = range (1,6),columns=['a','b'])
df['a'] = [1,1,1,1,1]
df['b']=[5,5,5,5,5]
df
Out:
a b
1 1 5
2 1 5
3 1 5
4 1 5
5 1 5
I am using subplots because I want to add other plots to the same axes, with the same colours. I am sending .plot a list of colours:
fig,ax=plt.subplots()
colours = ['r', 'b','g','y','m','c'][0:len(df.columns)]
ax.plot(df,linestyle = '-',color=colours)
plt.show()
I get a ValueError: Invalid RGBA argument: ['r','b'] exception. Full error message is:

What am I doing wrong? How should I pass a list of colours, one for each column?
matplotlib's plot function doesn't accept a list of colors like that. However, if you use the method DataFrame.plot, you can specify colors that way.
df.plot(linestyle='-', color=colours, ax=ax)

Plot numpy datetime64 with matplotlib

I have two numpy arrays 1D, one is time of measurement in datetime64 format, for example:
array([2011-11-15 01:08:11, 2011-11-16 02:08:04, ..., 2012-07-07 11:08:00], dtype=datetime64[us])
and other array of same length and dimension with integer data.
I'd like to make a plot in matplotlib time vs data. If I put the data directly, this is what I get:
plot(timeSeries, data)
Is there a way to get time in more natural units? For example in this case months/year would be fine.
EDIT:
I have tried Gustav Larsson's suggestion however I get an error:
Out[128]:

OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum
Could this be an bug? Or am I missing something. I also tried something simple:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
dates=np.array(["2011-11-13", "2011-11-14", "2011-11-15", "2011-11-16", "2011-11-19"], dtype='datetime64[us]')
data=np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
plt.plot_date(dates, data)
plt.show()
I still get this error:
OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum
I don't understand what am I doing wrong. ipython 0.13, matplotlib 1.1, Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
FINAL EDIT:
It seems that matplotlib doesn't support dtype=datetime64, so I needed to convert the timeSeries to ordinary datetime.datetime from datetime.
from datetime import datetime
a=np.datetime64('2002-06-28').astype(datetime)
plot_date(a,2)
Matplotlib>=2.2 natively supports plotting datetime64 arrays. See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/doc/users/prev_whats_new/whats_new_2.2.rst#support-for-numpydatetime64:
Matplotlib has supported datetime.datetime dates for a long time in
matplotlib.dates. We now support numpy.datetime64 dates as well.
Anywhere that dateime.datetime could be used, numpy.datetime64 can be
used. eg:
time = np.arange('2005-02-01', '2005-02-02', dtype='datetime64[h]')
plt.plot(time)
You might want to try this:
plot_date(timeSeries, data)
By default, the x axis will be considered a date axis, and y a regular one. This can be customized.
I had a similar porblem. Sometimes, the date axis plotted corectly my np.datetim64 array and at other times it did not with the same time array, giving some non-recognizible integer values on the date axis instead.
The reason turned out to my having set ax.xscale('linear') after first having worked with a logarithmmic scale. Removing the ax.xscale('linear') solved the problem. A linear axis is not a datetime axis, I learned.
