Extracting data and labels from a DataFrame
¶
DataFrame
s can be used similarly to any other kind of input.
Here, we generate a scatter plot using two columns and label the points using
a third column.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import mplcursors
from pandas import DataFrame
df = DataFrame(
[("Alice", 163, 54),
("Bob", 174, 67),
("Charlie", 177, 73),
("Diane", 168, 57)],
columns=["name", "height", "weight"])
df.plot.scatter("height", "weight")
mplcursors.cursor().connect(
"add", lambda sel: sel.annotation.set_text(df["name"][sel.target.index]))
plt.show()
