Make the size of a heatmap bigger with seaborn

Question

I create a heatmap with seaborn

df1.index = pd.to_datetime(df1.index)
df1 = df1.set_index(\'TIMESTAMP\')
df1 = df1.resample(\'30min\').mean()
ax = sns.heatmap(         


        

Answer 1

add plt.figure(figsize=(16,5)) before the sns.heatmap and play around with the figsize numbers till you get the desired size

...

plt.figure(figsize = (16,5))

ax = sns.heatmap(df1.iloc[:, 1:6:], annot=True, linewidths=.5)

Answer 2

I do not know how to solve this using code, but I do manually adjust the control panel at the right bottom in the plot figure, and adjust the figure size like:

f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))

at the meantime until you get a matched size colobar. This worked for me.

Answer 3

You could alter the figsize by passing a tuple showing the width, height parameters you would like to keep.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10,10))         # Sample figsize in inches
sns.heatmap(df1.iloc[:, 1:6:], annot=True, linewidths=.5, ax=ax)

EDIT

I remember answering a similar question of yours where you had to set the index as TIMESTAMP. So, you could then do something like below:

df = df.set_index('TIMESTAMP')
df.resample('30min').mean()
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax = sns.heatmap(df.iloc[:, 1:6:], annot=True, linewidths=.5)
ax.set_yticklabels([i.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") for i in df.index], rotation=0)

For the head of the dataframe you posted, the plot would look like:
