## count_plot()


Plot normalized or absolute counts with optional grouping.


Usage

``` python
count_plot(
    df,
    norm_control,
    conditions,
    condition_col="condition",
    selector_col="cell_line",
    selector_val=None,
    plot_type=PlotType.NORMALISED,
    show_triplicates=False,
    show_boxes=True,
    repeat_offset=0.18,
    title=None,
    colors=COLOR,
    save=False,
    save_stats=False,
    dpi=300,
    tight_layout=False,
    file_format="pdf",
    path=None,
    fig_size=(7, 7),
    size_units="cm",
    axes=None,
    group_size=1,
    within_group_spacing=0.2,
    between_group_gap=0.5,
    x_label=True,
    paired=True,
    show_ns=True,
    min_effect=None,
    normalise_within_plate=True
)
```


This is a backward-compatible wrapper around the simplified architecture.


Data Filtering df : pd.DataFrame The dataframe to plot containing single-cell measurements. norm_control : str The control condition to normalize by (required even for absolute plots). conditions : list\[str\] The conditions to plot. condition_col : str, default="condition" The column name for the conditions. selector_col : str \| None, default="cell_line" The column name for the selector. selector_val : str \| None, default=None The value of the selector.

Display Options ^ plot_type : PlotType, default=PlotType.NORMALISED The type of plot to create (NORMALISED or ABSOLUTE). show_triplicates : bool, default=False If True, show individual bars per replicate plate instead of the mean bar with overlay points. show_boxes : bool, default=True Whether to draw boxes around triplicates (only applies when show_triplicates=True). repeat_offset : float, default=0.18 Offset between replicate bars (only applies when show_triplicates=True).

Grouping & Layout ^ group_size : int, default=1 The number of conditions to group together. paired : bool, default=True Use a paired t-test (ttest_rel, matched by plate_id) for significance; set False for the unpaired ttest_ind. normalise_within_plate : bool, default=True Test the per-plate log fold-change ln(cond/control) vs 0 rather than the absolute count difference. Removes a multiplicative plate baseline so significance tracks effect size, not control stability. Requires `paired=True`; set False for the legacy absolute-count test. within_group_spacing : float, default=0.2 The spacing between conditions within a group. between_group_gap : float, default=0.5 The gap between groups.

Styling & Colors title : str \| None, default=None The title of the plot. colors : Any, default=COLOR The colors to use for the plot. x_label : bool, default=True Whether to show x-axis labels. axes : Axes \| None, default=None The axis to plot on.

Layout & Sizing ^ fig_size : tuple\[float, float\], default=(7, 7) The size of the plot. size_units : str, default="cm" The units of the plot size.

Save Options save : bool, default=False Whether to save the plot. save_stats : bool, default=False Write {title}\_stats.csv and {title}\_medians.csv to `path` (independent of `save`; works when plotting onto a provided/composed `axes`). path : Path \| None, default=None The path to save the plot. file_format : str, default="pdf" The format of the plot. tight_layout : bool, default=False Whether to use tight layout. dpi : int, default=300 The resolution of the plot.


tuple\[Figure, Axes\] The figure and axes objects.
