[FIXED] How to create a histogram from counts with bins spaced every 0.1

Issue

I have the following dataframe:

df = pd.DataFrame(df)

And I want to plot a barplot with it, where the x axis is count1 and the y axis count2, with bins spaced every 0.1 intervals.

I used this:

plt.bar(x=df['count1'], y=df['count2'], width=0.1)

But it returns me this error:

TypeError: bar() missing 1 required positional argument: 'height'

I'm trying to replicate an R code:

ggplot(df, aes(x= count1, 
               y= count2)) + 
  geom_col() +
  ylim(0, 2000000) +
  scale_x_binned()

That generates the following graph:

Solution

To get a histogram from values and counts, you can use the weights= parameter of plt.hist.

To create bins with a width of 0.1, you can use np.arange(...,..., 0.1).

The rwidth=0.9 parameter makes the bars a bit narrower.
