Histogram in Plotly

A histogram is a graph where the data are stocked and the each stocked is counted and represented. More broadly, in plotly a histogram is an accumulated bar chart, with several possible accumulation functions. The data to be stocked can be numerical data but also categorical or date data. It is commonly used in dealing with large data of sets.

Syntax: plotly.express.histogram(data_frame=None, x=None, y=None, color=None, facet_row=None, facet_col=None, facet_col_wrap=0, hover_name=None, hover_data=None, animation_frame=None, animation_group=None, category_orders={}, labels={}, color_discrete_sequence=None, color_discrete_map={}, marginal=None, opacity=None, orientation=None, barmode=’relative’, barnorm=None, histnorm=None, log_x=False, log_y=False, range_x=None, range_y=None, histfunc=None, cumulative=None, nbins=None, title=None, template=None, width=None, height=None)

Parameters:
data_frame: DataFrame or array-like needs to be passed for column names
x: Either a name of a column in data_frame, or a pandas Series or array_like object. Values from this column or array_like are used to position marks along the x axis in cartesian coordinates.
y: Either a name of a column in data_frame, or a pandas Series or array_like object. Values from this column or array_like are used to position marks along the y axis in cartesian coordinates.
color: Either a name of a column in data_frame, or a pandas Series or array_like object.

Example: Using the tips Dataset
