Seaborn is a Python-based data visualization library, which is based on matplotlib (https:\/\/seaborn.pydata.org\/<\/a>) . I would like to share some guidance\/code to get started with drawing plots using this library! I will be using the dataset ‘flights’ from Seaborn (https:\/\/github.com\/mwaskom\/seaborn-data<\/a>) to highlight an example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Installation of Seaborn <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#if you want to install via pip \npip install seaborn <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
#if you want to install via conda\nconda install seaborn <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Import Seaborn<\/strong> on Python<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
import seaborn as sns <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
3. Load and Check the Data<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#load dataframe 'flights' from Seaborn \nflights_df = sns.load_dataset('flights')\n\n#view flights_df\nflights_df<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
4. Sample Plots to Visualize the Data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bar Plot<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
sns.catplot(x='year', y='passengers', data=flights_df, kind='bar', hue='month')<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Scatter Plot<\/span><\/em>s<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
As shown below, ‘hue’ allows to specify the column in the dataframe that should be used for colour encoding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#without hue\nsns.catplot(x='year', y='passengers', data=flights_df)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
#with hue\nsns.catplot(x='year', y='passengers', data=flights_df, hue='month')<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Violin Plot<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
sns.catplot(x='month', y='passengers', data=flights_df, kind='violin')<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
