Python matplotlib 画直方图出错？

Question

sql3 = 'select sum(comment_num) as  total_col,create_time from article GROUP BY create_time'
df = pd.read_sql(sql3, conn)
print(df)
# 总数
# N = 22
# 宽度
width = 0.45
# ind = np.arange(N)
plt.bar(df['create_time'], df['total_col'], width, color='r', label='total_col')
plt.xlabel(u"发表日期")
plt.ylabel(u"总评论数")
plt.title(u"每日发表文章的总评论数直方分布图")
plt.legend()
plt.show()

df：

   total_col create_time

Answer 1

試試astype()轉換型別，參見stackoverflow

%matplotlib inline
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame.from_csv('timeseries.tsv', sep="\t")

df['total_col'] = df['total_col'].astype(float)
df['create_time'] = df['create_time'].astype('datetime64[D]')
df.set_index(['create_time']).plot(kind='bar')

Answer 2

plt.bar(df['create_time'], df['total_col'], width, color='r', label='total_col')

里面的left, height参数应该是数值形的list，你现在df['create_time']传递的是时间类型的列表
