Why is Seaborn useful?
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Advantages of Seaborn
Easy to use
Works well with pandas data structures
Built on top of matplotlib

INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Example 1: Scatter plot
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
height = [62, 64, 69, 75, 66,
68, 65, 71, 76, 73]
weight = [120, 136, 148, 175, 137,
165, 154, 172, 200, 187]
sns.scatterplot(x=height, y=weight)
plt.show()

Example 2: Create a count plot
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
gender = ["Female", "Female",
"Female", "Female",
"Male", "Male", "Male",
"Male", "Male", "Male"]
sns.countplot(x=gender)
plt.show()

What is pandas?
Python library for data analysis
Easily read datasets from csv, txt, and other types of les
Datasets take the form of DataFrame objects
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Working with DataFrames
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("masculinity.csv")
df.head()
participant_id age how_masculine how_important
0 1 18 - 34 Somewhat Somewhat
1 2 18 - 34 Somewhat Somewhat
2 3 18 - 34 Very Not very
3 4 18 - 34 Very Not very
4 5 18 - 34 Very Very

Using DataFrames with countplot()
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
df = pd.read_csv("masculinity.csv")
sns.countplot(x="how_masculine",
data=df)
plt.show()

Tips dataset
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
tips.head()

0 16.99 1.01 Female No Sun Dinner 2
1 10.34 1.66 Male No Sun Dinner 3
2 21.01 3.50 Male No Sun Dinner 3
3 23.68 3.31 Male No Sun Dinner 2

A basic scatter plot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips)
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
A scatter plot with hue
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
hue="smoker")
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Setting hue order
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
hue="smoker",
hue_order=["Yes",
"No"])
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Specifying hue colors
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
hue_colors = {"Yes": "black",
"No": "red"}
sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
hue="smoker",
palette=hue_colors)
plt.show()

Using HTML hex color codes with hue
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
hue_colors = {"Yes": "#808080",
"No": "#00FF00"}
sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
hue="smoker",
palette=hue_colors)
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Using hue with count plots
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.countplot(x="smoker",
data=tips,
hue="sex")
plt.show()
