Matplotlib: Stacked and Grouped Bar Plot

Stacked and Grouped Bar Plot

Oddly enough ggplot2 has no support for a stacked and grouped (position="dodge") bar plot. The seaborn python package, although excellent, also does not provide an alternative. However, I knew it was surely possible to make such a plot in regular matplotlib. Matplotlib, although sometimes clunky, gives you enough flexibility to precisely place plotting elements which is needed for a stacked and grouped bar plot.

Below is a working example of making a stacked and grouped bar plot.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

  • /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
  • /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
  • /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
  • /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.
