Pandas: Create a horizontal stacked bar plot of one column versus other columns

Pandas: Plotting Exercise-6 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to create a horizontal stacked bar plot of opening, closing stock prices of Alphabet Inc. between two specific dates.

Use the alphabet_stock_data.csv file to extract data.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df = pd.read_csv("alphabet_stock_data.csv")
start_date = pd.to_datetime('2020-4-1')
end_date = pd.to_datetime('2020-4-30')                         
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date']) 
new_df = (df['Date']>= start_date) & (df['Date']<= end_date)
df1 = df.loc[new_df]
df2 = df1[['Date', 'Open', 'Close']]
df3 = df2.set_index('Date')
plt.figure(figsize=(20,20))
df3.plot.barh(stacked=True)
plt.suptitle('Opening/Closing stock prices Alphabet Inc.,\n01-04-2020 to 30-04-2020', fontsize=12, color='black')
plt.show()

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
