[FIXED] How to remove automated chart titles generated by Pandas

Issue

I generated a boxplot using below code:

import pandas as pd
import random

country = ['A' for z in range(1,6)] + [ 'B' for z in range(1,6)]
sales = [random.random() for z in range(1,11)]
data =pd.DataFrame({'country':country, 'sales':sales})

bp=data.boxplot(by='country')

Pandas generated automated titles of the chart. 1. 'Boxplot grouped by country' 2. 'sales'

I can get rid of 1 using:

bp.get_figure().suptitle('')

But I cannot figure out how to get rid of the second 'sales'

I am struggling with it searching through stack overflow for the whole day and nothing seems to work.

I am using Python 3.6.1 together with Conda. The code I run in Jupiter notebook.

Thank you in advance for help!

Solution

You also need to get rid of the title on the axes via:

bp.get_figure().gca().set_title("")

and if you want to get rid of the [country] part too:

bp.get_figure().gca().set_xlabel("")
