I am using the following code to generate a barh plot with data stored in a pandas dataframe. Problem is that part of the first bar is not showing and I’m not sure how to address that. Here is the code:
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (10, 6))
ax = fig.add_subplot()
ax2 = ax.twiny()
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
s = StringIO("""name amount price
A 40929 4066443
B 93904 9611272
C 188349 19360005
D 248438 24335536
E 205622 18888604
F 140173 12580900
G 76243 6751731
H 36859 3418329
I 29304 2758928
J 39768 3201269
K 30350 2867059""")
df = pd.read_csv(s, delimiter=' ', skipinitialspace=True)
df.plot(x = 'name', y = 'price', kind = 'barh', ax = ax, color = 'steelblue', width = 0.4, position = 0)
df.plot(x = 'name', y = 'amount', kind = 'barh', ax = ax2, color = 'salmon', width = 0.4, position = 1)
and here is how the plot looks like:
as you can see, part of plot for name K is not showing properly. How could I add some sort of a margin to create space between that axis and the plot itself?
>Solution :
One option is to adjust the upper y-limit:
ylim = ax.get_ylim()
ax.set_ylim((ylim[0], ylim[1]+0.4))
Output:
