Parallel coordinates plotting.

Parameters:

frame : DataFrame class_column : str Column name containing class names cols : list, optional A list of column names to use ax : matplotlib.axis, optional matplotlib axis object color : list or tuple, optional Colors to use for the different classes use_columns : bool, optional If true, columns will be used as xticks xticks : list or tuple, optional A list of values to use for xticks colormap : str or matplotlib colormap, default None Colormap to use for line colors. axvlines : bool, optional If true, vertical lines will be added at each xtick axvlines_kwds : keywords, optional Options to be passed to axvline method for vertical lines sort_labels : bool, False Sort class_column labels, useful when assigning colors New in version 0.20.0. kwds : keywords Options to pass to matplotlib plotting method

Returns:

ax: matplotlib axis object
