Introducing relplot()
Create "relational plots": scatter plots or line plots
Why use relplot() instead of scatterplot() ?
relplot() lets you create subplots in a single gure
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
scatterplot() vs. relplot()
Using scatterplot() Using relplot()
import seaborn as sns import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.scatterplot(x="total_bill", sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip", y="tip",
data=tips) data=tips,
kind="scatter")
plt.show()
plt.show()

Subplots in columns
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
col="smoker")
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Subplots in rows
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
row="smoker")
plt.show()

Subplots in rows and columns
import seaborn as sns

col="smoker",
row="time")
plt.show()

kind="scatter",
col="day",
col_wrap=2)
plt.show()

Ordering columns
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
col="day",
col_wrap=2,
col_order=["Thur",
"Fri",
"Sat",
"Sun"])
plt.show()

Scatter plot overview
Show relationship between two quantitative variables
We've seen:
Subplots ( col and row )
Subgroups with color ( hue )
New Customizations:
Subgroups with point size and style
Changing point transparency
Use with both scatterplot() and relplot()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Subgroups with point size
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
size="size")
plt.show()

Point size and hue
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
size="size",
hue="size")
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Subgroups with point style
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
hue="smoker",
style="smoker")
plt.show()
INTRODUCTION TO DATA VISUALIZATION WITH SEABORN
Changing point transparency
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Set alpha to be between 0 and 1
sns.relplot(x="total_bill",
y="tip",
data=tips,
kind="scatter",
alpha=0.4)
plt.show()

What are line plots?
Two types of relational plots: scatter plots and line
plots
Scatter plots
Each plot point is an independent
observation
Line plots
Each plot point represents the same "thing",
typically tracked over time
