Please kindly help- i have a project where I need to plot dict results as a histogram. I just can't get the y- axis to print right. May someone please help? I have pulled my hair for the past two weeks, I am a few steps ahead, but stuck for now.
def histo(his_dict = {1:16, 2:267, 3:267, 4:169, 5:140, 6:112, 7:99, 8:68, 9:61, 10:56, 11:35, 12:13, 13:9, 14: 7, 15:2}): x_max = 17 #get maximum value of x y_max = 400 #get minimum value of y # print each line print ('^') for j in range(y_max, 0, -100):# draw s = '|' for i in range(1, x_max): if i in his_dict.keys() and his_dict[i] >= j: s += '***' else: s += ' ' print (s) print (j) # print x axis s = '+' for i in range(1, x_max): s += '-+-' s += '>' print (s) # print indexes s = ' ' for i in range(1, x_max): s += ' %d ' % i print (s) histo() # I need it to look like this: 400 -| | | | | 300 -| | | ****** | ****** | ****** 200 -| ****** | ****** | ********* | ************ | ************ 100 -| *************** | ****************** | ************************ | *************************** |********************************* 0 -+-+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+- | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
