Changing plot style and color

Changing the figure style

• includes background and axes
• Preset options: 'white', 'dark', 'whitegrid', 'darkgrid', 'ticks'
• sns.set_style()

Changing the palette

• sns.set_palette()
• preset or custom palettes
• Diverging palettes: 'RdBu', 'PRGn', 'RdBu_r', 'PRGn_r'
• Sequential palettes: 'Greys', 'Blues', 'PuRd', 'GnBu'
• Custom palettes

custom_palette = ['red', 'green', 'orange', 'blue', 'yellow', 'purple']
sns.set_palette(custom_palette)

Changing the scale

• Figure 'context' changes the scale of the plot element
• sns.set_context()
• smallest to largest: 'paper', 'notebook', 'talk', 'poster'

Adding titles and labels

FacetGrid vs. AxesSubplot objects

Object Type	Plot Types	Characteristics
FacetGrid	relplot(),catplot()	can create subplots
`AxesSubplot	scatterplot(),countplot(),etc.	single plot

Adding a title to FacetGrid

• g.fig.suptitle()
• adujst height :y=1

g = sns.catplot(x='region', y='Birthrate', data=gdp_data, kind='box')
g.fig.suptitle('New Title', y=1)

Titles for subplots

• g.set_titles("This is {col_names}")

Adding axis labels

• g.set(xlabel='X LABEL', ylabel='Y LABEL')

Rotating x-axis

• plt.xticks(rotation=90)
