I am trying to plot a histogram on IDLE3 using the plotly library. Here is my code:
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
x = [84, 65, 78, 75, 89, 59, 90, 88, 83, 72, 91, 90, 73, 54]
df20 = pd.DataFrame(x, columns = ["x"])
hist20 = px.histogram(df20, x="x")
print(hist20)
However, instead of the histogram, what is printed out on shell was:
Figure({
'data': [{'alignmentgroup': 'True',
'bingroup': 'x',
'hovertemplate': 'x=%{x}<br>count=%{y}<extra></extra>',
'legendgroup': '',
'marker': {'color': '#636efa'},
'name': '',
'offsetgroup': '',
'orientation': 'v',
'showlegend': False,
'type': 'histogram',
'x': array([84, 65, 78, 75, 89, 59, 90, 88, 83, 72, 91, 90, 73, 54]),
'xaxis': 'x',
'yaxis': 'y'}],
'layout': {'barmode': 'relative',
'legend': {'tracegroupgap': 0},
'margin': {'t': 60},
'template': '...',
'xaxis': {'anchor': 'y', 'domain': [0.0, 1.0], 'title': {'text': 'x'}},
'yaxis': {'anchor': 'x', 'domain': [0.0, 1.0], 'title': {'text': 'count'}}}
})
You're trying to print()
the histogram object, instead of calling its show()
method, to actually render a histogram
change the print(hist20)
to hist20.show()
.
hist20 = px.histogram(df20, x="x")
hist20.show()
This should open a browser and show the histogram. If you want to change the output maybe it's worth to take a look at the documentation.
