I have a dataFrame that has several columns and many rows. Many rows do not matter for a column, so it is represented as NaN in a data frame. An example dataFrame is as follows:
df.head()
GEN Sample_1 Sample_2 Sample_3 Sample_4 Sample_5 Sample_6 Sample_7 Sample_8 Sample_9 Sample_10 Sample_11 Sample_12 Sample_13 Sample_14
A123 9.4697 3.19689 4.8946 8.54594 13.2568 4.93848 3.16809 NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN
A124 6.02592 4.0663 3.9218 2.66058 4.38232 NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN
A125 7.88999 2.51576 4.97483 5.8901 21.1346 5.06414 15.3094 2.68169 8.12449 NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN
A126 5.99825 10.2186 15.2986 7.53729 4.34196 8.75048 16.9358 5.52708 NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN
A127 28.5014 4.86702 NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN NAN
I wanted to build a histogram for this DataFrame using the seaborn function from python, and so I tried to use the following lines,
sns.set(color_codes=True)
sns.set(style="white", palette="muted")
sns.distplot(df)
But he throws the following error,
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-80-896d7fe85ef3> in <module>()
1 sns.set(color_codes=True)

210 hist_color = hist_kws.pop("color", color)
211 ax.hist(a, bins, orientation=orientation,
213 if hist_color != color:
214 hist_kws["color"] = hist_color

5627 color = mcolors.colorConverter.to_rgba_array(color)
5628 if len(color) != nx:
-> 5629 raise ValueError("color kwarg must have one color per dataset")
5630
5631
ValueError: color kwarg must have one color per dataset
Any help / suggestions to get rid of this error will be greatly appreciated .. !!!
