Hi All,

I count the number of grades appeared in the dataset and trying to plot it as histogram.

it works ,but couldn't get the grade name as x-axis.

data on the count dataframe looks like 
Vermin V
V1     1
V10    1
V11    1
V2     1
V3     2
V4     2
V5     3
V6     6
V7     4
V8     2
V9     1
dtype: int64

i tried the below code 

>>> plt.hist(vermin_v)
(array([ 5.,  0.,  3.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  1.]), array([ 1. ,  1.5,  2. , ...,  5. ,  5.5,  6. ]), <a list of 10 Patch objects>)

i am getting a histogram ,but the numeric values appear on x-axis instead of vermin grades.


how can i get the vermin grades v1,v10etc on the x axis?

Thanks

Are you sure that you want a histogram? As a histogram is to show distribution of numerical data, there are usually no labels beside numeric values on x axis ...

Perhaps you want just ordinary barplot, showing counts V1, V2 etc? If so, then easiest way is to use directly your pandas series with value counts:

count_serie.plt('bar')

plots barplot and uses index values (your V1, V2 ...) as labels.
