I am trying to plot multiple series on one axes and a bar chart on a shared x, new y axes. I'm using twinx. The following test code works, but I need to render the bar plot *behind* the line plots. Can I somehow control zorder globally within a figure?
Alternatively, I could make the bar chart the first plot/axes ax1, but the position for its y-axis must be on the right, the line chart's y-axis on the left. Can this be controlled? Thanks. test.py: import matplotlib import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt width_bar = 0.4 width_line = 6 for i in range(0,1): data = np.loadtxt(open('test.csv','r'), delimiter=',', dtype={'names': ('x','y1','y2','count'), 'formats': ('f4', 'i4', 'i4', 'i4', 'i4')}, usecols=(1,3,4,7)) x,y1,y2,count = data['x'],data['y1'],data['y2'],data['count'] fig = plt.figure() ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111) ax1.plot(x, y1, linewidth=width_line, zorder=3) ax1.plot(x, y2, linewidth=width_line, zorder=2) ax2 = ax1.twinx() ax2.bar(x, count, width=width_bar, color='0.9', zorder=1) plt.show() test.csv: 1,3.0,3.2,6,0,-10,29,8 1,3.5,3.5,20,12,-4,55,29 1,4.0,4.0,51,29,15,97,71 1,4.5,4.5,82,62,37,136,143 1,5.0,5.0,130,102,69,197,154 1,5.5,5.5,186,147,115,275,164 1,6.0,6.0,256,202,159,382,187 1,6.5,6.5,351,265,236,522,183 1,7.0,7.0,446,340,308,646,192 1,7.5,7.5,562,426,376,826,184 1,8.0,8.0,654,526,437,934,193 1,8.5,8.5,797,648,553,1080,190 1,9.0,9.0,940,765,648,1271,173 1,9.5,9.5,1111,910,782,1457,180 1,10.0,10.0,1240,1040,919,1564,199 1,10.5,10.5,1333,1175,1011,1655,209 1,11.0,11.0,1449,1285,1112,1775,210 1,11.5,11.5,1458,1366,1120,1793,173 1,12.0,12.0,1449,1427,1089,1799,156 1,12.5,12.5,1441,1460,1073,1809,136 1,13.0,13.0,1458,1483,1100,1803,174 1,13.5,13.5,1446,1491,1080,1809,134 1,14.0,14.0,1447,1497,1081,1814,139 1,14.5,14.5,1424,1498,1046,1810,112 1,15.0,15.0,1433,1500,1065,1817,85 1,15.5,15.5,1427,1500,1048,1819,66 1,16.0,15.9,1428,1500,1036,1817,41 1,16.5,16.5,1383,1500,990,1799,29 1,17.0,17.0,1379,1500,935,1820,29 1,17.5,17.5,1352,1500,899,1817,16 1,18.0,18.0,1347,1500,861,1825,9 1,18.5,18.4,1464,1500,1130,1818,4 1,19.0,18.9,1449,1500,1065,1819,3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
