hvPlot.hexbin#

hvPlot.hexbin(x=None, y=None, C=None, colorbar=True, gridsize=50, logz=False, min_count=None, **kwds)[source]#

The hexbin plot uses hexagons to split the area into several parts and attribute a color to it.

hexbin offers a straightforward method for plotting dense data.

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

Parameters:
xstring, optional

Field name to draw x coordinates from. If not specified, the index is used.

ystring

Field name to draw y-positions from

Cstring, optional

Field to draw hexbin color from. If not specified a simple count will be used.

colorbar: boolean, optional

Whether to display a colorbar. Default is True.

reduce_functionfunction, optional

Function to compute statistics for hexbins, for example np.mean. Default aggregation is a count of the values in the area.

gridsize: int or tuple, optional

Number of hexagonal bins along x- and y-axes. Defaults to uniform sampling along both axes when setting and integer but independent bin sampling can be specified a tuple of integers corresponding to the number of bins along each axis. Default is 50.

logzbool

Whether to apply log scaling to the z-axis. Default is False.

min_countnumber, optional

The display threshold before a bin is shown, by default bins with a count of less than 1 are hidden

**kwdsoptional

Additional keywords arguments are documented in hvplot.help(‘hexbin’). See Plotting Options for more information.

Returns:
holoviews.element.HexTiles / 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.
