map() function to convert our 'Label' column to a numeric column. In order to pass in a column we need to use a numerical column. Alternatively, we can pass in a column name that determines the size of the points. In order to do this, we can pass in either an integer that represents the size of the dots we want to use. One of the meaningful modifications we can do is add sizes to our scatter plot. This returns the following image: Adding a title and axis labels to your scatter plot in Pandas Modify the Size of Points on your Pandas Scatter Plot Let’s give our chart some meaningful titles using the above parameters: # Adding titles to a Pandas Scatter Plot
#Pandas plot scatter how to#
S=None # How to size dots (single number or column)
Ylabel=None # What the y-axis label should be Xlabel=None, # What the x-axis label should be plot() function looks like: # The Pandas Plot Function Because Pandas borrows many things from Matplotlib, the syntax will feel quite familiar. This function allows you to pass in x and y parameters, as well as the kind of a plot we want to create. To make a scatter plot in Pandas, we can apply the. read_csv() function to load the dataset and explored the first five rows with the Pandas.

In the code above, we imported both Pandas and the pyplot library.

Feel free to use your own data, though your results will of course look different. To follow along with this tutorial line-by-line, I have provided a sample dataset that you can load into a Pandas DataFrame.
