Plotly is a Python library that is used to design graphs, especially interactive graphs. It can plot various graphs and charts like histogram, barplot, boxplot, spreadplot, and many more. It is mainly used in data analysis as well as financial analysis. plotly is an interactive visualization library.
Stacked Area plot
A stacked area chart is the amplification of a basic area chart to display the enlargement of the value of several groups on the same graphic. The values of each group are displayed on top of each other. This is the best chart to be used to show the distribution of categories as parts of a whole area where the cumulative total is unnecessary. It can be created by passing the stackgroup parameter in the scatter() method of graph_objects class
Example 1:
Python3
import plotly.graph_objects as px import numpy # creating random data through randomint # function of numpy.random np.random.seed(42) random_x= np.random.randint(1,101,100) random_y= np.random.randint(1,101,100) x = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'] plot = px.Figure() plot.add_trace(go.Scatter( name = 'Data 1', x = x, y = [100, 200, 500, 673], stackgroup='one' )) plot.add_trace(go.Scatter( name = 'Data 2', x = x, y = [56, 123, 982, 213], stackgroup='one' ) ) plot.show() |
Output:
Example 2:
Python3
import plotly.graph_objects as go import numpy plot = go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter( x = np.random.randn(1000), y = np.random.randn(1000), stackgroup='one'), go.Scatter( x = np.random.randn(10), y = np.random.randn(50), stackgroup='one') ]) plot.show() |
Output:
Example 3:
Python3
import plotly.graph_objects as go import plotly.express as px import numpy df = px.data.iris() plot = go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter( x = df['sepal_width'], y = df['sepal_length'], stackgroup='one'), go.Scatter( x = df['petal_width'], y = df['petal_length'], stackgroup='one') ]) plot.show() |
Output:
