A Stacked Percentage Bar Chart is a simple bar chart in the stacked form with a percentage of each subgroup in a group. Stacked bar plots represent different groups on the top of one another. The height of the bar depends on the resulting height of the combination of the results of the groups. It goes from the bottom to the value instead of going from zero to value. A percent stacked bar chart is almost the same as a stacked barchart. Subgroups are displayed on top of each other, but data are normalized to make in a sort that the sum of every subgroup is the same as the total for each one.
The dataset used in the following examples is shown below :
The dataset can be downloaded from here.
Procedure: The procedure to draw Stacked Percentage Bar Chart is the following steps which are described below with examples :
1. Draw a stacked bar chart using data (dataset, dictionary, etc.).
Python3
# importing packagesimport pandas as pdimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt # load datasetdf = pd.read_excel("Hours.xlsx") # view datasetprint(df) # plot a Stacked Bar Chart using matplotlibdf.plot( x = 'Name', kind = 'barh', stacked = True, title = 'Stacked Bar Graph', mark_right = True) |

2. Add Percentage on subgroups of each group.
Python3
# importing packagesimport pandas as pdimport numpy as npimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt # load datasetdf = pd.read_excel("Hours.xlsx") # view datasetprint(df) # plot a Stacked Bar Chart using matplotlibdf.plot( x = 'Name', kind = 'barh', stacked = True, title = 'Percentage Stacked Bar Graph', mark_right = True) df_total = df["Studied"] + df["Slept"] + df["Other"]df_rel = df[df.columns[1:]].div(df_total, 0)*100 for n in df_rel: for i, (cs, ab, pc) in enumerate(zip(df.iloc[:, 1:].cumsum(1)[n], df[n], df_rel[n])): plt.text(cs - ab / 2, i, str(np.round(pc, 1)) + '%', va = 'center', ha = 'center') |
Output:

3. Edit the chart with some features (optional).
Python3
# importing packagesimport pandas as pdimport numpy as npimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt # load datasetdf = pd.read_xlsx("Hours.xlsx") # view datasetprint(df) # plot a Stacked Bar Chart using matplotlibdf.plot( x = 'Name', kind = 'barh', stacked = True, title = 'Percentage Stacked Bar Graph', mark_right = True) df_total = df["Studied"] + df["Slept"] + df["Other"]df_rel = df[df.columns[1:]].div(df_total, 0) * 100 for n in df_rel: for i, (cs, ab, pc) in enumerate(zip(df.iloc[:, 1:].cumsum(1)[n], df[n], df_rel[n])): plt.text(cs - ab / 2, i, str(np.round(pc, 1)) + '%', va = 'center', ha = 'center', rotation = 20, fontsize = 8) |
