I've been using style sheets in matplotlib
lately. I really like how clean the seaborn-white
looks and I want to be able to add the border to other styles like ggplot
or seaborn-whitegrid
.
How can I add a black border around my ax
object from fig, ax = plt.subplots()
?
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from collections import *
Se_data = pd.Series(Counter(np.random.randint(0,10,100)))
with plt.style.context("seaborn-whitegrid"):
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
Se_data.plot(kind="barh", ax=ax, title="No Border")
with plt.style.context("seaborn-white"):
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
Se_data.plot(kind="barh", ax=ax, title="With Border")
In response to the answer below:
Se_data = pd.Series(Counter(np.random.randint(0,10,100)))
with plt.style.context("seaborn-whitegrid"):
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
Se_data.plot(kind="barh", ax=ax, title="No Border")
ax.spines['bottom'].set_color('0.5')
ax.spines['top'].set_color(None)
ax.spines['right'].set_color('0.5')
ax.spines['left'].set_color(None)
ax.patch.set_facecolor('0.1')
plt.grid(b=True, which='major', color='0.2', linestyle='-')
plt.grid(b=True, which='minor', color='0.2', linestyle='-')
ax.tick_params(axis='x', colors='0.7', which='both')
ax.tick_params(axis='y', colors='0.7', which='both')
ax.yaxis.label.set_color('0.9')
ax.xaxis.label.set_color('0.9')
ax.margins(5)
fig.patch.set_facecolor('0.15')
Take a look at this. What you're looking for are these two lines:
ax.patch.set_edgecolor('black')
ax.patch.set_linewidth('1')
