Question

I have a pandas dataframe, the result of a groupby() operation, c:

>>> c.index.names
FrozenList([u'Thing1', u'Thing2', u'Month'])
>>> c.columns
Index([u'Tot'], dtype='object')
>>> c
                           Tot
Thing1 Thing2 Month

              2013-03-01   2.384704

I can plot a graph for a particular pair of Thing1 and Thing2 e.g. G and P like so:

c.loc[('G', 'P'), :].plot(kind='bar')

However I'd like to iterate through the DataFrame and plot separate graphs for all combinations of Thing1 and Thing2. I have tried using index.get_level_values however this results in combinations that do not exist e.g. G and M and therefore produces an error:

for x in c.index.get_level_values(0).unique():
    for y in c.index.get_level_values(1).unique():
        c.loc[(x, y), :].plot(kind='bar')

Does anyone know how to best do this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Do this

c.groupby(level=['Thing1', 'Thing2']).plot(kind='bar')

This will give you len(df.index.levels[0]) * len(df.index.levels[1]) plots.
