Seaborn boxplot：TypeError：/：'str'和'int'不支持的操作数类型

Question

我试图像这样制作垂直的seaborn boxplot

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a' : ['a', 'b' , 'b', 'a'], 'b' : [5, 6, 4, 3] })
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
%matplotlib inline
sns.boxplot(  x= "b",y="a",data=df )

我得到

我写东方

sns.boxplot(  x= "c",y="a",data=df , orient = "v")

并得到

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'

但

sns.boxplot(  x= "c",y="a",data=df , orient = "h")

作品coreect！怎么了？

对于Seaborn的箱形图，在水平和垂直对齐方式之间切换时，请务必注意x轴和y轴的分配：

%matplotlib inline
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns

df = pd.DataFrame({'a' : ['a', 'b' , 'b', 'a'], 'b' : [5, 6, 4, 3] })

# horizontal boxplots
sns.boxplot(x="b", y="a", data=df, orient='h')

# vertical boxplots
sns.boxplot(x="a", y="b", data=df, orient='v')

混淆列会导致seaborn尝试计算分类数据框中的摘要统计信息，这肯定会失败。
