StackPlot

class StackPlot(*args, **kwargs)

Class representing a 2D stack plot.

Users should typically not directly create new plot instances, but use the dedicated 2D chart’s plotting methods.

Parameters:

chartChart2D

The chart containing this plot.

xarray_like

X coordinates of the points outlining the stacks (areas) to draw.

yssequence[array_like]

Size of the stacks (areas) to draw at the corresponding X coordinates. Each sequence defines the sizes of one stack (area), which are stacked on top of each other.

colorssequence[ColorLike], optional

Color of the stacks (areas) drawn in this plot. Any color parsable by pyvista.Color is allowed.

labelssequence[str], default: []

Label for each stack (area) drawn in this plot, as shown in the chart’s legend.

Examples

Create a stack plot showing the amount of vehicles sold per type.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> import numpy as np
>>> year = [f'{y}' for y in np.arange(2011, 2021)]
>>> x = np.arange(len(year))
>>> n_e = [1739, 4925, 9515, 21727, 31452, 29926, 40648, 57761, 76370, 93702]
>>> n_h = [5563, 7642, 11937, 13905, 22807, 46700, 60875, 53689, 46650, 50321]

>>> chart = pv.Chart2D()
>>> plot = chart.stack(x, [n_e, n_h, n_f])
>>> plot.labels = ['Electric', 'Hybrid', 'Fossil']
>>> chart.x_axis.label = 'Year'
>>> chart.x_axis.tick_locations = x
>>> chart.x_axis.tick_labels = year
>>> chart.y_axis.label = 'New car sales'
>>> chart.show()
