API

fivecentplots is driven by keywords arguments or kwargs. Kwargs for various plot types and Element objects, along with some examples of their usage, can be found using the list in the left sidebar. The general usage pattern of kwargs is as follows:

fcp.valid_plot_type_name(pandas.DataFrame, keyword1=value1, keyword2=value2, ...)

Note

While the majority of kwargs are optional, each plot type has a small list of required kwargs. These are usually related to specifying the columns of data that should be plotted. For example, the plot method used for XY scatter plotting requires that the x and y column names be specified.
