I'm having an issue drawing a Pandas boxplot within a subplot. Based on the two ways I'm trying, creating the boxplot either removes all the subplots that I've already created, or plots the boxplot after the subplot grid. But I can't seem to draw it within the subplot grid.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas
from pandas import DataFrame, Series
data = {'day' : Series([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3]),
'val' : Series([3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11])}
df = pandas.DataFrame(data)
The first thing I've tried is the following:
plt.figure()
plt.subplot(2, 2, 1)
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.subplot(2, 2, 4)
df.boxplot('val', 'day')
But this simply creates the plot outside of the subplots:
So, I then tried supplying the axis by hand:
plt.figure()
plt.subplot(2, 2, 1)
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.subplot(2, 2, 4)
ax = plt.gca()
df.boxplot('val', 'day', ax=ax)
But this simply destroyed the subplot grid all together, as well as the initial image:
Any ideas how I can get my boxplot image to appear in the bottom right grid in the subplots (the one that's empty in the first set of images)?
