Single Stacked Bar Chart Matplotlib

Question

I am struggling to get a single stacked bar chart using matplotlib.

I want to create something like this: Horizontal Stacked Bar Chart

However, even if I use df.plot.barh(stacked=True, ax=axes_var, legend=False) I get two separate bars. My data frame currently looks like this:

        Percentage
Female        42.9
Male          57.1

Any advice would be appreciated.

First transpose one column DataFrame:

df.T.plot.barh(stacked=True, legend=False)

If 2 or more columns:

df[['Percentage']].T.plot.barh(stacked=True, legend=False)

Hi jezrael, in case we have another column named "percentage_2", how do we add its barh to the same chart ? – Khaled DELLAL Apr 18 '23 at 13:13

@KhaledDELLAL - Use `df[['Percentage','percentage_2']].T.plot.barh(stacked=True, legend=False)` – jezrael Apr 19 '23 at 05:25
