pytrnsys_process.plot.plot_wrappers.scalar_compare_plot(df: DataFrame, x_column: str, y_column: str, group_by_color: str | None = None, group_by_marker: str | None = None, use_legend: bool = True, size: tuple[float, float] = (7.8, 3.9), scatter_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None, line_kwargs: dict[str, Any] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → tuple[Figure, Axes][source]#

Create a scalar comparison plot with up to two grouping variables. This visualization allows simultaneous analysis of:

  • Numerical relationships between x and y variables

  • Categorical grouping through color encoding

  • Secondary categorical grouping through marker styles

Note

To change the figure properties a separation is included. scatter_kwargs are used to change the markers. line_kwargs are used to change the lines.

See: - markers: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter.html - lines: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot.html

Parameters:

  • df (pandas.DataFrame) – the dataframe to plot

  • x_column (str) – column name for x-axis values

  • y_column (str) – column name for y-axis values

  • group_by_color (str, optional) – column name for color grouping

  • group_by_marker (str, optional) – column name for marker style grouping

  • use_legend (bool, default 'True') – whether to show the legend or not

  • size (tuple of (float, float)) – size of the figure (width, height)

  • line_kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass on to matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot().

  • scatter_kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass on to matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter().

  • **kwargs – Should never be used! Use ‘line_kwargs’ or ‘scatter_kwargs’ instead.

Return type:

tuple of (matplotlib.figure.Figure, matplotlib.axes.Axes)
