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 Mo
Instructor
Setting Styles
Seaborn has default con gurations that can be applied with sns.set()

These styles can override matplotlib and pandas plots as well

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

INTERMEDIATE DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN


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

Chris Mo

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 de ne a pale e

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


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

INTERMEDIATE DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN


Displaying Palettes
sns.palplot() function displays a pale e

sns.color_palette() returns the current pale e

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

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 con gure 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()
