I'm experimenting with pandas and non-matplotlib plotting. Good suggestions are here. This question regards yhat's ggplot and I am running into two issues. Plotting a series in pandas is easy.
frequ.plot()
I don't see how to do this in the ggplot docs. Instead I end up creating a dataframe:
cheese = DataFrame({'time': frequ.index, 'count' : frequ.values})
ggplot(cheese, aes(x='time', y='count')) + geom_line()
I would expect ggplot -- a project that has "tight integration with pandas" -- to have a way to plot a simple series.
Second issue is I can't get stat_smooth() to display when the x axis is time of day. Seems like it could be related to this post, but I don't have the rep to post there. My code is:
frequ = values.sampler.resample("1Min", how="count")
cheese = DataFrame({'time': frequ.index, 'count' : frequ.values})
ggplot(cheese, aes(x='time', y='count')) + geom_line() + stat_smooth()
Any help regarding non-matplotlib plotting would be appreciated. Thanks! (I'm using ggplot 0.5.8)
This is more of a workaround but you can use qplot for quick, shorthand plots using series.
from ggplot import *
qplot(meat.beef)
