watex.view.ExPlot#

class watex.view.ExPlot(tname=None, inplace=False, **kws)[source]#

Exploratory plot for data analysis

ExPlot is a shadow class. Explore data is needed to create a model since it gives a feel for the data and also at great excuses to meet and discuss issues with business units that controls the data. ExPlot methods i.e. return an instancied object that inherits from watex.property.Baseplots ABC (Abstract Base Class) for visualization.

  • gwhich (str, Optional) – kind of grid in the plot. default is major

  • tp_axis (bool,) – axis to apply the ticks params. default is both

  • tp_labelsize (str, Optional) – labelsize of ticks params. default is italic

  • tp_bottom (bool,) – position at bottom of ticks params. default is True.

  • tp_labelbottom (bool,) – put label on the bottom of the ticks. default is False

  • tp_labeltop (bool,) – put label on the top of the ticks. default is True

  • cb_orientation (str , ('vertical', 'horizontal')) – orientation of the colorbar, default is vertical

  • cb_aspect (float, Optional) – aspect of the colorbar. default is 20.

  • cb_drawedges (bool,) – draw edges inside of the colorbar. default is False

  • sns_orient ('v' | 'h', optional) – Orientation of the plot (vertical or horizontal). This is usually inferred based on the type of the input variables, but it can be used to resolve ambiguity when both x and y are numeric or when plotting wide-form data. default is v which refer to ‘vertical’

  • sns_style (dict, or one of {darkgrid, whitegrid, dark, white, ticks}) – A dictionary of parameters or the name of a preconfigured style.

  • sns_palette (seaborn color paltte | matplotlib colormap | hls | husl) – Palette definition. Should be something color_palette() can process. the palette generates the point with different colors

  • sns_height (float,) – Proportion of axes extent covered by each rug element. Can be negative. default is 4.

  • sns_aspect (scalar (float, int)) – Aspect ratio of each facet, so that aspect * height gives the width of each facet in inches. default is .7
