Chapter 2

This document discusses using Seaborn styles and customizing plots. It shows how to: 1) Set Seaborn styles using sns.set_style() to override matplotlib and pandas plots. 2) Define colors for plots using matplotlib color codes and Seaborn palettes. 3) Customize plots further using matplotlib Axes objects, setting labels, limits, and combining multiple plots.

Using Seaborn

Styles
I N T E R M E D I AT E D ATA V I S U A L I Z AT I O N W I T H S E A B O R N

Chris Moffitt
Instructor
Setting Styles
Seaborn has default configurations that can be applied with sns.set()
These styles can override matplotlib and pandas plots as well

sns.set()
df['Tuition'].plot.hist()

Theme examples with sns.set_style()
for style in ['white','dark','whitegrid','darkgrid','ticks']:
sns.set_style(style)
sns.displot(df['Tuition'])
plt.show()

Removing axes with despine()
Sometimes plots are improved by removing elements
Seaborn contains a shortcut for removing the spines of a plot

sns.set_style('white')
sns.displot(df['Tuition'])
sns.despine(left=True)

Colors in Seaborn

Defining a color for a plot
Seaborn supports assigning colors to plots using matplotlib color codes

sns.set(color_codes=True)
sns.displot(df['Tuition'], color='g')

Palettes
Seaborn uses the set_palette() function to define a palette

palettes = ['deep', 'muted', 'pastel', 'bright', 'dark','colorblind']


for p in palettes:
sns.set_palette(p)
sns.displot(df['Tuition'])

Displaying Palettes
sns.palplot() function displays a palette

sns.color_palette() returns the current palette

palettes = ['deep', 'muted', 'pastel', 'bright','dark','colorblind']


for p in palettes:
sns.set_palette(p)
sns.palplot(sns.color_palette())
plt.show()

Defining Custom Palettes
Circular colors = when the data is not Diverging colors = when both the low and
ordered high values are interesting

sns.palplot(sns.color_palette("Paired", 12)) sns.palplot(sns.color_palette("BrBG", 12))

Sequential colors = when the data has a


consistent range from high to low

sns.palplot(sns.color_palette("Blues", 12))

Customizing with
matplotlib
I N T E R M E D I AT E D ATA V I S U A L I Z AT I O N W I T H S E A B O R N

Matplotlib Axes
Most customization available through matplotlib Axes objects
Axes can be passed to seaborn functions

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
sns.histplot(df['Tuition'], ax=ax)
ax.set(xlabel='Tuition 2013-14')

Further Customizations
The axes object supports many common customizations

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
sns.histplot(df['Tuition'], ax=ax)
ax.set(xlabel="Tuition 2013-14",
ylabel="Distribution", xlim=(0, 50000),
title="2013-14 Tuition and Fees Distribution")

Combining Plots
It is possible to combine and configure multiple plots

fig, (ax0, ax1) = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=2,


sharey=True, figsize=(7,4))

sns.histplot(df['Tuition'], stat='density', ax=ax0)


sns.histplot(df.query('State == "MN"')['Tuition'], stat='density', ax=ax1)

ax1.set(xlabel='Tuition (MN)', xlim=(0, 70000))


ax1.axvline(x=20000, label='My Budget', linestyle='--')
ax1.legend()
