How to set different colors on matplotlib bar graph based on the group of data?-CodePudding

I have created this table:

There are football players from every league whose overall rating is more than 80.

I also created a bar graph which looks like this:

Code I have written is this:

plt.figure(figsize=(15,5))
plt.bar(grouped.short_name,grouped.overall)
plt.title("football players with 80  rating")
plt.xticks(rotation=90)
plt.ylabel("overall rating")
plt.show()

But I want the graph to have columns of different colors based on the league player represents. For example: players from Seria A be Green, players from Bundesliga - Red and etc. I also want the graph to have legend which shows which color corresponds to which league. How can I do this?

Try this code snippet.

This code allows you to set random colors to your barplot.

for i in range(0, len(grouped.short_name) 1):
    l.append(tuple(np.random.choice(range(0, 2), size=3)))
      
plt.bar(grouped.short_name, grouped.overall, color=l)
