CategoricalComponent

class glue.core.component.CategoricalComponent(categorical_data, categories=None, jitter=None, units=None)

Bases: Component

Container for categorical data.

Parameters:

categorical_datandarray

The underlying array.

categoriesiterable, optional

List of unique values in the data.

jitterstr, optional

Strategy for jittering the data.

unitsstr, optional

Unit description.

Attributes Summary

categorical	Whether or not the datatype is categorical.
categories	The categories.
codes	The index of the category for each value in the array.
data	The underlying ndarray
labels	The original categorical data.
numeric	Whether or not the datatype is numeric.

Methods Summary

jitter([method])	Jitter the codes so the density of points can be easily seen in a scatter plot for example.
to_series(**kwargs)	Convert into a pandas.Series object.

Methods Documentation

jitter(method=None)

Jitter the codes so the density of points can be easily seen in a scatter plot for example.

Parameters:

method{None, ‘uniform’}

If None, no jittering is done (or any jittering is undone). If 'uniform', the codes are randomized by a uniformly distributed random variable.

to_series(**kwargs)

Convert into a pandas.Series object.

When not explicitly specifying dtype, this will be converted as an np.object for pandas < 3, but default to string (pd.StringDtype) for >= 3!

Parameters:

**kwargs

All kwargs are passed to the Series constructor.

Returns:

pandas.Series
