Grouping Bar charts 

Grouping bar charts can be used to show multiple set of data items which are been compared with a single color which is used to indicate a specific  series across all sets.

Method 1: Using graph_objects class

Example:

Python3




import plotly.graph_objects as px
import numpy
 
 
# creating random data through randomint
# function of numpy.random
np.random.seed(42)
 
random_x= np.random.randint(1,101,100)
random_y= np.random.randint(1,101,100)
 
x = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
 
plot = px.Figure(data=[px.Bar(
    name = 'Data 1',
    x = x,
    y = [100, 200, 500, 673]
   ),
                       px.Bar(
    name = 'Data 2',
    x = x,
    y = [56, 123, 982, 213]
   )
])
                  
plot.show()


Output:

Method 2: Using express class

Example 1: Iris dataset

Python3




import plotly.express as px
  
df = px.data.iris()
  
fig = px.bar(df, x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length",
             color="species", hover_data=['petal_width'],
             barmode = 'group')
  
fig.show()


Output:

Example 2: Tips dataset

Python3




import plotly.express as px
 
df = px.data.tips()
 
fig = px.bar(df, x="tota_bill", y="day",
             color="sex", barmode = 'group')
 
fig.show()
