Chapter 1: Getting started with seaborn
Remarks
This section provides an overview of what seaborn is, and why a developer might want to use it.

It should also mention any large subjects within seaborn, and link out to the related topics. Since
the Documentation for seaborn is new, you may need to create initial versions of those related
topics.

Examples
Installation or Setup

Detailed instructions on getting seaborn set up or installed.

Chapter 2: Barplot
Examples
Barplot with Gradient

Imagine you have a simple dataframe to plot on a barplot like:

df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2,3,4,5], 'b':[10,5,2,4,5]})

using seaborn:

sns.barplot(df['a'], df['b'], palette='Blues_d')

you can obtain something like:

then you can also play with the palette option and colormap adding a gradient according to some
data like:

sns.barplot(df['a'], df['b'], palette=cm.Blues(df['b']*10)

obtaining:

Chapter 3: Correlation plot
Introduction
A correlation plot can be regarded as a subcategory of heatmaps. An out-of-the box seaborn
heatmap shows the correlation between two variables twice. A correlation plot should handle
duplicated values by masking parts of the map, and / or let the masked part show values instead
of colors. A bar chart should also be included.

Examples
Basic correlation plot

A basic but illustrative heatmap showing correlations between a number of variables.

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import numpy as np

# Sample dataframe with date index and five variables


np.random.seed(123)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.uniform(-0.25,0.25,size=(5, 5)),
columns = ['Var A','Var B','Var C', 'Var D', 'Var E'])
df['Dates'] = pd.date_range(start = None, end = pd.datetime.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d'),
periods=5).tolist()
df = df.set_index(['Dates'])

# Compute correlations
corr = df.corr()

# Exclude duplicate correlations by masking uper right values


mask = np.zeros_like(corr, dtype=np.bool)
mask[np.triu_indices_from(mask)] = True

# Set background color / chart style


sns.set_style(style = 'white')

# Set up matplotlib figure


f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(11, 9))

# Add diverging colormap


cmap = sns.diverging_palette(10, 250, as_cmap=True)

# Draw correlation plot


sns.heatmap(corr, mask=mask, cmap=cmap,
square=True,
linewidths=.5, cbar_kws={"shrink": .5}, ax=ax)

Possible improvements:

1. Remove redundant labels on y-axis (Var A) and x-axis (Var E)


2. Add correlations (values) either in lower left or upper right part of the map
