11. Display DataFrame in Heatmap Style

Create a dataframe of ten rows, four columns with random values. Write a Pandas program to display the dataframe in Heatmap style.

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns

np.random.seed(24)
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': np.linspace(1, 10, 10)})
df = pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4), columns=list('BCDE'))],
               axis=1)
print("Original array:")
print(df)
print("\nDataframe - Heatmap style:")

cm = sns.light_palette("red", as_cmap=True)
 
df.style.background_gradient(cmap='viridis') 

Original array:
