Pyramid Plot

A Python package for creating pyramid plots using Matplotlib.

Installation

pip install pyramidplot

Usage

Using DataFrame

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pyramidplot import pyramidplot

# Sample data
levels = ["Producers", "Primary Consumers", "Secondary Consumers", "Tertiary Consumers"]
values = [800, 400, 200, 150]

data = pd.DataFrame({
    "Level": levels,
    "Value": values
})

# Create plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 6))
pyramidplot(
    data, 
    var_levels="Level", 
    var_values="Value", 
    ax=ax, 
    show_trend=True, 
    edgecolor='none',
    label_color='black',
    trend_color='gray'
)

plt.show()

Using Lists

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pyramidplot import pyramidplot

levels = ["Producers", "Primary Consumers", "Secondary Consumers", "Tertiary Consumers"]
values = [800, 400, 200, 150]

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 6))
pyramidplot(
    levels, 
    values, 
    ax=ax, 
    show_trend=True,
    edgecolor='none',
    label_color='black',
    trend_color='gray'
)
plt.show()

Features

• Custom Levels and Values: Takes a DataFrame or two lists (levels, values).
• Matplotlib Polygons: Uses Polygon patches to draw the pyramid levels (trapezoids).
• Colormap Support: Allows specifying a colormap for level coloring.
• Labels: Options to label levels and values.
• Label Color: Option to specify label color or use the level color (default).
• Trend Overlay: Option to show arrows and percentage change between levels (centered with labels, smaller size, padded).
• Trend Color: Option to specify color for trend arrows and text (default 'gray').
• Edge Customization: Option to customize or remove polygon edges using edgecolor.
