Custom Annotation Seaborn Heatmap

问题

I'm using Seaborn in Python to create a Heatmap. I'm able to annotate the cells with the values passed in, but I'd like to add annotations that signify what the cell means. For example, instead of merely seeing 0.000000, I'd like to see the corresponding label, for instance "Foo," or 0.000000 (Foo).

The Seaborn documentation for the heatmap function is a bit cryptic with the parameter that I believe is the key here:

annot_kws : dict of key, value mappings, optional
  Keyword arguments for ax.text when annot is True.

I tried setting annot_kws to a dictionary of the aliases to the values, i.e., {'Foo' : -0.231049060187, 'Bar' : 0.000000}, etc., but I'm getting an AttributeError.

Here is my code (I've manually created the data array here for reproducability):

data = np.array([[0.000000,0.000000],[-0.231049,0.000000],[-0.231049,0.000000]])
axs = sns.heatmap(data, vmin=-0.231049, vmax=0, annot=True, fmt='f', linewidths=0.25)

Here is the (working) output when I don't use the annot_kws parameter:

And here the stack trace for when I do include the annot_kws param:

--> 757                 raise AttributeError('Unknown property %s' % k)
    758             func(v)
    759             changed = True

AttributeError: Unknown property tokenized

Finally, kws, the attribute I'm passing in the line in the stack trace, is the dictionary and it would look basically like this:

kws = {'Foo': -0.231049060187, 'Bar': 0.0}

Hope everything makes sense, and I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.

This feature has just been added in the recent version of Seaborn 0.7.1.

From Seaborn update history:

The annot parameter of heatmap() now accepts a rectangular dataset in addition to a boolean value. If a dataset is passed, its values will be used for the annotations, while the main dataset will be used for the heatmap cell colors

Here is an example

data = np.array([[0.000000,0.000000],[-0.231049,0.000000],[-0.231049,0.000000]])
labels =  np.array([['A','B'],['C','D'],['E','F']])
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax = sns.heatmap(data, annot = labels, fmt = '')

Note, fmt = '' is necessary if you are using non-numeric labels, since the default value is fmt='.2g' which makes sense only for numeric values and would lead to an error for text labels.

aanot_kws in Seaborn serves a different purpose, namely, it provides access to how annotations are displayed, rather than what is displayed

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

sns.set()
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,2)
ata = np.array([[0.000000,0.000000],[-0.231049,0.000000],[-0.231049,0.000000]])
sns.heatmap(data, vmin=-0.231049, vmax=0, annot=True, fmt='f', annot_kws={"size": 15}, ax=ax[0])
sns.heatmap(data, vmin=-0.231049, vmax=0, annot=True, fmt='f', annot_kws={"size": 10}, ax=ax[1]);

回答3:

I don't believe this is possible in the current version. If you are up to a hack-y workaround, you could do the following ...

# Create the 1st heatmap without labels 
sns.heatmap(data=df1, annot=False,)

# create the second heatmap, which contains the labels,
# turn the annotation on,
# and make it transparent
sns.heatmap(data=df2, annot=True, alpha=0.0)

Note that you may have a problem with the coloring of your text labels. Here, I created a custom cmap to have all labels uniformly black.
