waterfall

waterfall(x, y; kwargs...)

Plots a waterfall chart to visualize individual positive and negative components that add up to a net result as a barplot with stacked bars next to each other.

Attributes

Available attributes and their defaults for Combined{Makie.waterfall} are:

  cycle            [:color => :patchcolor]
  direction_color  :white
  dodge            MakieCore.Automatic()
  dodge_gap        0.03
  final_color      RGBA{Float64}(0.8980392156862745,0.8980392156862745,0.8980392156862745,0.5)
  final_dodge_gap  0
  final_gap        MakieCore.Automatic()
  gap              0.2
  marker_neg       :dtriangle
  marker_pos       :utriangle
  n_dodge          MakieCore.Automatic()
  show_direction   false
  show_final       false
  stack            MakieCore.Automatic()
  width            MakieCore.Automatic()

Furthermore the same attributes as for barplot are supported.

Examples

using CairoMakie

y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]

waterfall(y)

The direction of the bars might be easier to parse with some visual support.

using CairoMakie

y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]

waterfall(y, show_direction=true)

You can customize the markers that indicate the bar directions.

using CairoMakie

y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]

waterfall(y, show_direction=true, marker_pos=:cross, marker_neg=:hline, direction_color=:gold)

If the dodge attribute is provided, bars are stacked by dodge.

using CairoMakie
colors = Makie.wong_colors()

x = repeat(1:2, inner=5)
y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]
group = repeat(1:5, outer=2)

waterfall(x, y, dodge=group, color=colors[group])

It can be easier to compare final results of different groups if they are shown in the background.

using CairoMakie
colors = Makie.wong_colors()

x = repeat(1:2, inner=5)
y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]
group = repeat(1:5, outer=2)

waterfall(x, y, dodge=group, color=colors[group], show_direction=true, show_final=true)

The color of the final bars in the background can be modified.

using CairoMakie
colors = Makie.wong_colors()

x = repeat(1:2, inner=5)
y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]
group = repeat(1:5, outer=2)

waterfall(x, y, dodge=group, color=colors[group], show_final=true, final_color=(colors[6], 1//3))

You can also specify to stack grouped waterfall plots by x.

using CairoMakie
colors = Makie.wong_colors()

x = repeat(1:5, outer=2)
y = [6, 4, 2, -8, 3, 5, 1, -2, -3, 7]
group = repeat(1:2, inner=5)

waterfall(x, y, dodge=group, color=colors[group], show_direction=true, stack=:x)
