My python code of departures vs years, below works fine for a bar plot. I would like to have year tick mark labels on the x-axis. Currently I get the line plot, but no years labelled on the x-axis. For the bar plot the years are labelled alright. This is not a multi-plot (or subplots), but plotting the line plot while the bar plotting is commented, and vice versa. I am just curious why one works and the other doesn't. Any help will be appreciated. import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np df = pd.read_csv('../RnOut/RAINFALL/Deps/CHIPAT.txt', sep=' ', skipinitialspace=True ) fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 10)) #Drop rows with missing values #***************************** df_new = df.drop(df[df['Dep'] <= -99.].index) #set xtick labels #**************** xticks=np.arange(df_new['Year'].iloc[0], df_new['Year'].iloc[-1], 5) xlabels = [f'{x:d}' for x in xticks] ax.set_xticks(xticks, labels=xlabels) plt.xticks(xticks, labels=xlabels) #Draw line plot #************** #df_new['Dep'].plot(ax=ax) #Draw bar plot, red for negative bars #************************************ colors = ['g' if e >= 0 else 'r' for e in df_new['Dep']] plt.bar(df_new['Year'],df_new['Dep'], color=colors,edgecolor='black') #Set titles #********** ax.set_title('Rainfall Departures: Oct-Mar\n ---------------------------------------') plt.xlabel("Years") plt.ylabel("Rainfall Departure (Std Dev)") ax.grid() plt.savefig('ChipatDep.png') plt.show() my sample data Year Dep 1945 -0.9 1946 0.9 1947 0.6 1948 -0.7 1949 1.2 1950 -0.9 1951 0.9 1952 0.1 1953 -1.0 1954 1.3 1955 -0.3 Continue reading...
