How to plot a stacked bar chart of single variable?

I have a dataframe:

df = pd.DataFrame({'name':['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 'value':[54.2, 53.239, 43.352, 36.442, -12.487]})

I'd like to plot a stacked bar chart like the one below with plotly.express:

How can a I do that?

Solution

  • It's a little wordy, but you can set a single value for the x axis, in this case zero. Then you just need to tweak your dimension, lables, and ranges.

    import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
df = pd.DataFrame({'name':['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 'value':[54.2, 53.239, 43.352, 36.442, -12.487]})


df['x'] = 0

fig = px.bar(df, x='x', y='value',color='name', width=500, height=1000)

fig.update_xaxes(showticklabels=False, title=None)
fig.update_yaxes(range=[-50,200])
fig.update_traces(width=.3)
fig.show()
