mpl.pyplot.barh()¶

mpl.pyplot.barh(bottom, width, height=0.8, left=None, hold=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Make a horizontal bar plot.

Make a horizontal bar plot with rectangles bounded by:

left, left + width, bottom, bottom + height

(left, right, bottom and top edges)

bottom, width, height, and left can be either scalars or sequences

Parameters:	bottom : scalar or array-like the y coordinate(s) of the bars width : scalar or array-like the width(s) of the bars height : sequence of scalars, optional, default: 0.8 the heights of the bars left : sequence of scalars the x coordinates of the left sides of the bars
Returns:	matplotlib.patches.Rectangle instances.
Other Parameters:
	color : scalar or array-like, optional the colors of the bars edgecolor : scalar or array-like, optional the colors of the bar edges linewidth : scalar or array-like, optional, default: None width of bar edge(s). If None, use default linewidth; If 0, don’t draw edges. tick_label : string or array-like, optional, default: None the tick labels of the bars xerr : scalar or array-like, optional, default: None if not None, will be used to generate errorbar(s) on the bar chart yerr : scalar or array-like, optional, default: None if not None, will be used to generate errorbar(s) on the bar chart ecolor : scalar or array-like, optional, default: None specifies the color of errorbar(s) capsize : scalar, optional determines the length in points of the error bar caps default: None, which will take the value from the errorbar.capsize rcParam. error_kw : dictionary of kwargs to be passed to errorbar method. ecolor and capsize may be specified here rather than as independent kwargs. align : [‘edge’ | ‘center’], optional, default: ‘edge’ If edge, aligns bars by their left edges (for vertical bars) and by their bottom edges (for horizontal bars). If center, interpret the left argument as the coordinates of the centers of the bars. log : boolean, optional, default: False If true, sets the axis to be log scale

Notes

The optional arguments color, edgecolor, linewidth, xerr, and yerr can be either scalars or sequences of length equal to the number of bars. This enables you to use bar as the basis for stacked bar charts, or candlestick plots. Detail: xerr and yerr are passed directly to errorbar(), so they can also have shape 2xN for independent specification of lower and upper errors.
