Display Scatter Plot Using Seaborn Library in Python

Visualizing data is an important step since it helps understand what is going on in the data without actually looking at the numbers and performing complicated computations. Seaborn is a library that helps in visualizing data.

Scatter plot shows the distribution of data as data points that are spread/scattered on the graph. It uses dots to represents values of a dataset, which are numeric in nature. The position of every dot on the horizontal and vertical axis denotes the value for a single data point.

They help understand the relationship between two variables. Let us understand how this can be achieved using Seaborn library in Python −

Example

import seaborn as sb
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
df = sb.load_dataset('iris')
sb.jointplot(x = 'petal_length',y = 'petal_width',data = df)
plt.show()

Output

Explanation

• The required packages are imported.
• The input data is ‘iris_data’ which is loaded from the scikit learn library.
• This data is stored in a dataframe.
• The ‘load_dataset’ function is used to load the iris data.
• This data is visualized using the ‘jointplot’ function.
• Here, the ‘x’ and ‘y’ axis values are supplied as parameters.
• This scatterplot data is displayed on the console.
