The first plot\nshows the default style by providing only the data. The second plot first\nlimits what Matplotlib draws with additional keyword arguments. Then a\nsimplified representation of a box plot is drawn on top. Lastly, the styles of\nthe artists of the violins are modified.\n\nFor more information on violin plots, the scikit-learn docs have a great\nsection: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/density.html\n" ] }, { "cell_type": "code", "execution_count": null, "metadata": { "collapsed": false }, "outputs": [], "source": [ "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport numpy as np\n\n\ndef adjacent_values(vals, q1, q3):\n upper_adjacent_value = q3 + (q3 - q1) * 1.5\n upper_adjacent_value = np.clip(upper_adjacent_value, q3, vals[-1])\n\n lower_adjacent_value = q1 - (q3 - q1) * 1.5\n lower_adjacent_value = np.clip(lower_adjacent_value, vals[0], q1)\n return lower_adjacent_value, upper_adjacent_value\n\n\ndef set_axis_style(ax, labels):\n ax.set_xticks(np.arange(1, len(labels) + 1), labels=labels)\n ax.set_xlim(0.25, len(labels) + 0.75)\n ax.set_xlabel('Sample name')\n\n\n# create test data\nnp.random.seed(19680801)\ndata = [sorted(np.random.normal(0, std, 100)) for std in range(1, 5)]\n\nfig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=2, figsize=(9, 4), sharey=True)\n\nax1.set_title('Default violin plot')\nax1.set_ylabel('Observed values')\nax1.violinplot(data)\n\nax2.set_title('Customized violin plot')\nparts = ax2.violinplot(\n data, showmeans=False, showmedians=False,\n showextrema=False)\n\nfor pc in parts['bodies']:\n pc.set_facecolor('#D43F3A')\n pc.set_edgecolor('black')\n pc.set_alpha(1)\n\nquartile1, medians, quartile3 = np.percentile(data, [25, 50, 75], axis=1)\nwhiskers = np.array([\n adjacent_values(sorted_array, q1, q3)\n for sorted_array, q1, q3 in zip(data, quartile1, quartile3)])\nwhiskers_min, whiskers_max = whiskers[:, 0], whiskers[:, 1]\n\ninds = np.arange(1, len(medians) + 1)\nax2.scatter(inds, medians, marker='o', color='white', s=30, zorder=3)\nax2.vlines(inds, quartile1, quartile3, color='k', linestyle='-', lw=5)\nax2.vlines(inds, whiskers_min, whiskers_max, color='k', linestyle='-', lw=1)\n\n# set style for the axes\nlabels = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']\nfor ax in [ax1, ax2]:\n set_axis_style(ax, labels)\n\nplt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15, wspace=0.05)\nplt.show()" ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "metadata": {}, "source": [ ".. tags:: plot-type: violin, domain: statistics\n\n.. admonition:: References\n\n The use of the following functions, methods, classes and modules is shown\n in this example:\n\n - `matplotlib.axes.Axes.violinplot` / `matplotlib.pyplot.violinplot`\n - `matplotlib.axes.Axes.vlines` / `matplotlib.pyplot.vlines`\n\n" ] } ], "metadata": { "kernelspec": { "display_name": "Python 3", "language": "python", "name": "python3" }, "language_info": { "codemirror_mode": { "name": "ipython", "version": 3 }, "file_extension": ".py", "mimetype": "text/x-python", "name": "python", "nbconvert_exporter": "python", "pygments_lexer": "ipython3", "version": "3.13.2" } }, "nbformat": 4, "nbformat_minor": 0 }
