Easy Plotly

Star

This is on-going research on how ploting with Plotly.py, especially ploting of hierarchical data, could be made easier.

See the outputs of the commands below - tables and plots - in the HTML export of this notebook. Or even, open this README.md as a notebook and run it interactively on Binder!

Installation

Install the easyplotly python package with

pip install easyplotly

Sample data

Our sample data is the population and life expectancy, per country and region:

import world_bank_data as wb
import itables.interactive

# Collect countries
countries = wb.get_countries()
region_country = countries[['region', 'name']].rename(columns={'name': 'country'})

# Population & life expectancy
region_country['population'] = wb.get_series('SP.POP.TOTL', mrv=1, id_or_value='id', simplify_index=True)
region_country['life_expectancy'] = wb.get_series('SP.DYN.LE00.IN', mrv=1, id_or_value='id', simplify_index=True)

# Observations restricted to the countries
pop_and_exp = region_country.loc[countries.region != 'Aggregates'].set_index(['region', 'country']).sort_index()
pop_and_exp

Sunburst Charts

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.io as pio
import easyplotly as ep

pio.renderers.default = 'notebook_connected'
layout = go.Layout(title='World Population and Life Expectancy<br>Data from the World Bank', height=800)

Our Sunburst function accepts inputs of many types: pandas Series, dictionaries, and list of such objects. If you want, you can redefine labels, or add other arguments like text - use either a Series with an index identical to that of values, or a function that to any tuple (level0, level1, ... leveln) associates the corresponding label or value.

sunburst = ep.Sunburst(pop_and_exp.population, text=pop_and_exp.life_expectancy)
go.Figure(sunburst, layout)

Treemaps

The Treemap function works like the Sunburst one:

treemap = ep.Treemap(pop_and_exp.population, text=pop_and_exp.life_expectancy)
go.Figure(treemap, layout)

Just like the Sunburst function, it also accepts all the arguments supported by the original go.Sunburst object. You're even welcome to use the magic underscore notation, as we do below when we set marker.colors with marker_colors:

import numpy as np


def average(values, weights):
    """Same as np.average, but remove nans"""
    total_obs = 0.
    total_weight = 0.
    if isinstance(values, np.float):
        values = [values]
        weights = [weights]
    for x, w in zip(values, weights):
        xw = x * w
        if np.isnan(xw):
            continue
        total_obs += xw
        total_weight += w
    return total_obs / total_weight if total_weight != 0 else np.NaN


def life_expectancy(item):
    """Life expectancy associated to a tuple like (), ('Europe & Central Asia') or ('East Asia & Pacific', 'China')"""
    sub = pop_and_exp.loc[item] if item else pop_and_exp
    return average(sub.life_expectancy, weights=sub.population)


def text(item):
    """Return the text associated to a tuple like (), ('Europe & Central Asia') or ('East Asia & Pacific', 'China')"""
    sub = pop_and_exp.loc[item] if item else pop_and_exp
    pop = sub.population.sum()
    le = life_expectancy(item)
    if pop > 0:
        life_exp = average(sub.life_expectancy, weights=sub.population)
        return 'Population: {:,}<br>Life expectancy: {:.2f}'.format(int(pop) if pop > 0 else 0, life_exp)


treemap = ep.Treemap(pop_and_exp.population,
                     hoverinfo='label+text',
                     text=text,
                     root_label='World',
                     # magic underscore notation
                     marker_colors=life_expectancy,
                     marker_colorscale='RdBu')

go.Figure(treemap, layout)

Sankey Plot

Plot links from a dict, or a series with a source/target multiindex:

links = {('A', 'B'): 3, ('B', 'C'): 1, ('B', 'D'): 2, ('C', 'A'): 1, ('D', 'A'): 1, ('A', 'D'): 1}
go.Figure(ep.Sankey(links))

Plot links from a DataFrame (sources as the index, targets as the columns):

import pandas as pd

links = pd.DataFrame(1, index=['Source A', 'Source B'], columns=['Target'])
go.Figure(ep.Sankey(links))

We conclude the examples with a plot in which the links are a list of pandas Series:

region_income = wb.get_countries().query("region != 'Aggregates'").copy()
region_income['population'] = wb.get_series('SP.POP.TOTL', mrv=1, id_or_value='id', simplify_index=True)
income_lending = region_income.copy()
region_income.set_index(['region', 'incomeLevel'], inplace=True)
income_lending.set_index(['incomeLevel', 'lendingType'], inplace=True)

layout = go.Layout(title='Regions income and lending type<br>Data from the World Bank')

sankey = ep.Sankey(
    link_value=[region_income['population'], income_lending['population']],
    link_label=[region_income['name'], income_lending['name']])
