Seaborn error with kde plot: The following variable cannot be assigned with wide-form data `hue`-CodePudding

I have a pandas dataframe df with two columns (type and IR) as this one:

   type    IR
0   a      0.1
1   b      0.3
2   b      0.2
3   c      0.8
4   c      0.5
      ...

I want to plot three distributions (one for each type) with the values of the IR so, I write:

sns.displot(df, kind="kde", hue='type', rug=True)

but I get this error: The following variable cannot be assigned with wide-form data 'hue'

Any idea?

EDIT:

My real dataframe looks like

pd.DataFrame({"type": ["IR orig", "IR orig", "IR orig", "IR trans", "IR trans", "IR trans", "IR perm", "IR perm", "IR perm", "IR perm", "IR perm"],
              "IR": [1.41, 1.42, 1.32, 0.0, 0.44, 0.0, 1.41, 1.31, 1.41, 1.37, 1.34]
})

but with sns.displot(df, x='IR', kind="kde", hue='type', rug=True) I got ValueError: cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels

CodePudding user response：

Use:

df = pd.DataFrame({'type': {0: 'a', 1: 'b', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 4: 'c'}, 
                   'IR': {0: 0.1, 1: 0.3, 2: 0.2, 3: 0.8, 4: 0.5}})
print (df)
  type   IR
0    a  0.1
1    b  0.3
2    b  0.2
3    c  0.8
4    c  0.5

sns.displot(df.reset_index(drop=True), x='IR', kind="kde", hue='type', rug=True)
