Matplotlib/seaborn histogram using different colors for grouped bins

Question

I have this code, using a pandas df:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import os


path_to = \'Data\\\\2017-04\\\\Mon         


        

Answer 1

A more readable general solution without using the cmap as you want just 3 colors for specific intervals.

n, bins, patches = plt.hist(df1['Average'], 30)

for c, p in zip(bins, patches):
    if c > 0 and c < 4:
        plt.setp(p, 'facecolor', 'green')
    elif c >= 4 and c < 14  :
        plt.setp(p, 'facecolor', 'blue')
    else c>=14:
        plt.setp(p, 'facecolor', 'yellow')

plt.show()
