Creating Cumulative Plots

The plot.cumulative class provides access to two types of cumulative plots:

• plot.cumulative.consumption
• plot.cumulative.feed_count

In [3]: expt1.plot.cumulative.consumption()

You can use the col and row keywords to control the categories used to segregate plots. The color_by keyword is used to color individual cumulative curves.

You can also alter the time bins used to resample the data with the resample_by keyword. (The default is 5 minutes.)

In [4]: expt1.plot.cumulative.feed_count(color_by='FoodChoice',
                                         row='Temperature',
                                         col='Status',
                                         gridlines=False,
                                         resample_by='15min')
