Cheat Sheet

This document provides a cheat sheet on plotting with the Python data visualization library Seaborn. It outlines the basic steps to create plots which include preparing data, controlling aesthetics, plotting with Seaborn functions, and further customization. Various plot types are described such as categorical plots, regression plots, distribution plots, and matrix plots. FacetGrid and PairGrid objects are introduced for conditional and pairwise relationships.

Python For Data Science Cheat Sheet 3 Plotting With Seaborn

Seaborn Axis Grids


Learn Data Science Interactively at www.DataCamp.com >>> g = sns.FacetGrid(titanic, Subplot grid for plotting conditional >>> h = sns.PairGrid(iris) Subplot grid for plotting pairwise
col="survived", relationships >>> h = h.map(plt.scatter) relationships
row="sex") >>> sns.pairplot(iris) Plot pairwise bivariate distributions
>>> g = g.map(plt.hist,"age") >>> i = sns.JointGrid(x="x", Grid for bivariate plot with marginal
>>> sns.factorplot(x="pclass", Draw a categorical plot onto a y="y", univariate plots
y="survived", Facetgrid data=data)
Statistical Data Visualization With Seaborn hue="sex",
data=titanic)
>>> i = i.plot(sns.regplot,
sns.distplot)
The Python visualization library Seaborn is based on >>> sns.lmplot(x="sepal_width", Plot data and regression model fits >>> sns.jointplot("sepal_length", Plot bivariate distribution
y="sepal_length", across a FacetGrid "sepal_width",
matplotlib and provides a high-level interface for drawing hue="species", data=iris,
attractive statistical graphics. data=iris) kind='kde')

Categorical Plots Regression Plots


Make use of the following aliases to import the libraries: >>> sns.regplot(x="sepal_width", Plot data and a linear regression
Scatterplot
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt y="sepal_length", model fit
>>> sns.stripplot(x="species", Scatterplot with one
>>> import seaborn as sns data=iris,
y="petal_length", categorical variable
data=iris) ax=ax)
The basic steps to creating plots with Seaborn are: >>> sns.swarmplot(x="species", Categorical scatterplot with Distribution Plots
y="petal_length", non-overlapping points
1. Prepare some data data=iris) >>> plot = sns.distplot(data.y, Plot univariate distribution
2. Control figure aesthetics Bar Chart kde=False,
color="b")
3. Plot with Seaborn >>> sns.barplot(x="sex", Show point estimates and
y="survived", confidence intervals with Matrix Plots
4. Further customize your plot hue="class", scatterplot glyphs
>>> sns.heatmap(uniform_data,vmin=0,vmax=1) Heatmap
data=titanic)
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt Count Plot
>>>
>>>
>>>
import seaborn as sns
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
sns.set_style("whitegrid") Step 2
Step 1
>>> sns.countplot(x="deck",
data=titanic,
Show count of observations
4 Further Customizations Also see Matplotlib
palette="Greens_d")
>>> g = sns.lmplot(x="tip", Step 3
Point Plot Axisgrid Objects
y="total_bill",
data=tips, >>> sns.pointplot(x="class", Show point estimates and >>> g.despine(left=True) Remove left spine
aspect=2) y="survived", confidence intervals as >>> g.set_ylabels("Survived") Set the labels of the y-axis
>>> g = (g.set_axis_labels("Tip","Total bill(USD)"). hue="sex", rectangular bars >>> g.set_xticklabels(rotation=45) Set the tick labels for x
set(xlim=(0,10),ylim=(0,100))) data=titanic, >>> g.set_axis_labels("Survived", Set the axis labels
Step 4 palette={"male":"g", "Sex")
>>> plt.title("title")
>>> plt.show(g) Step 5 "female":"m"}, >>> h.set(xlim=(0,5), Set the limit and ticks of the
markers=["^","o"], ylim=(0,5), x-and y-axis
linestyles=["-","--"]) xticks=[0,2.5,5],

Boxplot yticks=[0,2.5,5])
Data Also see Lists, NumPy & Pandas >>> sns.boxplot(x="alive", Boxplot

>>> plt.show() Step 6

1D Data 4 Customize Plot


>>> import numpy as np Colors, Color Bars & Color Maps Mathtext
>>> x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
>>> y = np.cos(x) >>> plt.plot(x, x, x, x**2, x, x**3) >>> plt.title(r'$sigma_i=15$', fontsize=20)
>>> z = np.sin(x) >>> ax.plot(x, y, alpha = 0.4)

2D Data or Images >>> fig.colorbar(im, orientation='horizontal')
>>> im = ax.imshow(img, Limits & Autoscaling
>>> data = 2 * np.random.random((10, 10)) cmap='seismic')
>>> data2 = 3 * np.random.random((10, 10)) >>> ax.margins(x=0.0,y=0.1) Add padding to a plot

ylabel='Y-Axis',
Linestyles xlabel='X-Axis')
2 Create Plot >>>
>>>
plt.plot(x,y,linewidth=4.0)
plt.plot(x,y,ls='solid')
>>> ax.legend(loc='best')
Ticks
No overlapping plot elements

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> ax.xaxis.set(ticks=range(1,5), Manually set x-ticks


>>> plt.plot(x,y,ls='--') ticklabels=[3,100,-12,"foo"])
Figure >>> plt.plot(x,y,'--',x**2,y**2,'-.') >>> ax.tick_params(axis='y', Make y-ticks longer and go in and out
>>> plt.setp(lines,color='r',linewidth=4.0) direction='inout',
>>> fig = plt.figure() length=10)

Subplot Spacing
Axes >>> ax.text(1, >>> fig3.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.5, Adjust the spacing between subplots
-2.1, hspace=0.3,
All plotting is done with respect to an Axes. In most cases, a 'Example Graph', left=0.125,
style='italic') right=0.9,
subplot will fit your needs. A subplot is an axes on a grid system. >>> ax.annotate("Sine", top=0.9,
>>> fig.add_axes() xy=(8, 0), bottom=0.1)
>>> ax1 = fig.add_subplot(221) # row-col-num xycoords='data', >>> fig.tight_layout() Fit subplot(s) in to the figure area
xytext=(10.5, 0),
>>> ax3 = fig.add_subplot(212) textcoords='data', Axis Spines
>>> fig3, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2,ncols=2) arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="->", >>> ax1.spines['top'].set_visible(False) Make the top axis line for a plot invisible
>>> fig4, axes2 = plt.subplots(ncols=3) connectionstyle="arc3"),) >>> ax1.spines['bottom'].set_position(('outward',10)) Move the bottom axis line outward
