I am making a histogram but somehow my ticks are not correct.
I need that ticks will be in the center of the histogram bars.
I was trying to use align="mid" but it didn't help.
Here is my code:
import random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.ticker import PercentFormatter
data_trough_min = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['month'])
month = []
for i in range(0,7942):
n = random.randint(1,12)
month.append(n)
print(month)
data_trough_min['month'] = month
def bins_labels(bins, **kwargs):
bin_w = (max(bins) - min(bins)) / (len(bins) - 1)
plt.xticks(np.arange(min(bins)+bin_w/2, max(bins), bin_w), bins, **kwargs)
plt.xlim(bins[0], bins[-1])
plt.hist(data_trough_min.month, weights=np.zeros_like(data_trough_min.month) + 1. / data_trough_min.month.size, bins=12, histtype='bar', ec='black', density = True,
rwidth=0.7)
plt.gca().yaxis.set_major_formatter(PercentFormatter(1))
bins = range(1,13)
bins_labels(bins, fontsize=20)
plt.xticks(bins,)
plt.grid(axis='y', alpha=0.75)
How can I set up the histogram such that all of the xticks are aligned in the center? I will appreciate any help.
