Solution

  • This is how I would do it ...

    import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 

# get the data ... note the order ...
data = [4.77, 5.52, 5.93, 6.29, 6.0, 6.95, 7.7, 9.44, 10.94, 12.35, 13.45]
df = pd.DataFrame({'data':data})

# referse the dataframe
df = df[::-1]

# ... and plot ...
ax = df.plot(kind='bar',table=True, figsize=(8,4)) # bar plots are categorical
ax.xaxis.set_visible(False) # table heading and x-labels over-printing
plt.show()

    Which yields ...

    chart generated by the above code

    And if we reverse it again ...

    df = df[::-1]

    We get ...
