hvPlot.box#

hvPlot.box(y=None, by=None, **kwds)[source]#

The box plot gives you a visual idea about the locality, spread and skewness of numerical data through their quartiles. It is also known as box and whiskers plot.

box plots are most useful when grouped by additional dimensions.

Reference: https://hvplot.holoviz.org/reference/tabular/box.html

Parameters:

ystring or sequence: Field(s) in the wide data to compute distribution from. If none is provided all numerical fields will be used.
bystring or sequence: Field in the long data to group by.
kwdsoptional: Additional keywords arguments are documented in hvplot.help(‘box’). See Plotting Options for more information.

Returns:

holoviews.element.BoxWhisker / Panel object

You can print the object to study its composition and run:

import holoviews as hv
hv.help(the_holoviews_object)

to learn more about its parameters and options.

Examples

Here is an example using wide data.

import hvplot.pandas
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

data = np.random.randn(25, 4)
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=list('ABCD'))
df.hvplot.box()

Here is an example using long data and the by argument.

import hvplot.pandas  # noqa
import pandas as pd
age_list = [8, 10, 12, 14, 72, 74, 76, 78, 20, 25, 30, 35, 60, 85]
df = pd.DataFrame({"gender": list("MMMMMMMMFFFFFF"), "age": age_list})
df.hvplot.box(y='age', by='gender', height=400, width=400, legend=False, ylim=(0, None))
