I am doing this in plotnine, but hoping ggplotters can assist as well.
Consider the following plot:
df = pd.DataFrame({
'date' : pd.date_range(start='30/09/2019', periods=11, freq='Q').repeat(6),
'variable' : ['A','B','C','D','E','F']*11,
'value' : np.random.choice(range(50),66)
})
p = (ggplot(df, aes(x='variable', y='value', fill='factor(date)'))
+ theme_light()
+ geom_bar(stat='identity', position='dodge', color='white', size=0.2)
+ labs(x=None, y=None)
+ scale_fill_manual(('#80C3D7','#66B7CE','#4DABC6','#339FBE','#1A93B6','#0087AE','#007A9D','#006C8B','#005F7A','#005168','#004457'), labels= lambda l: [v.strftime('%b-%Y') for v in l])
+ guides(fill=guide_legend(nrow=2, order=1))
+ theme(
legend_title=element_blank(),
legend_direction='horizontal',
legend_position='bottom',
legend_box_spacing=0.25,
)
)
p
I would like the dates to be arranged from left to right, not top to bottom. For example, I want the first row to be Sep-2019, Dec-2019, Mar-2020, Jun-2020, Sep-2020 etc.
I have tried different version of order=1
without success.
Thanks
