starbars 1.0.2

Visualize statistical significance on existing Matplotlib plots by adding

✨ starbars ✨

This Python tool helps visualizing statistical significance on existing Matplotlib plots by adding significance bars and p-value labels between chosen pairs of columns.

Features

• Converts p-values to asterisk notations for easy interpretation.
• Draws statistical significance bars on Matplotlib plots.
• Customizable bar margins, tip lengths, font sizes, and top margins.

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install starbars

Example

import starbars
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Example data
categories = ['A', 'B', 'C']
values = [10, 20, 15]
annotations = [('A', 'B', 0.01), ('B', 'C', 0.05)]
plt.bar(categories, values)

# Annotate significance
starbars.draw_annotation(annotations)

plt.show()

This example creates a simple bar plot and uses the draw_annotation function to add statistical significance annotations between the specified pairs. For more detailed examples, please check the example.

Parameters

• annotations: List of tuples (x1, x2, p) containing the x-axis labels and the p-value of the pair.
• bar_margin: Margin of the bar from data. Default is 3% of the data.
• tip_length: Length of the tip of the statistical bar. Default is 3% relative to data range.
• fontsize: Font size of the annotations.
• top_margin: Margin of the last annotation from the top of the graph. Default is 3% of the data.
