Seaborn.choose_cubehelix_palette() method

The Seaborn.choose_cubehelix_palette() method is used to enable widgets to choose colors in the cubehelix palette.

This method goes hand in hand with the cubehelix_palette() method.This palette works better for the data that falls in the range of uninteresting low values to interesting higher values. Due to the cubehelix system, distinguishing wider range of values is easier as the hue variance across the range is relatively more.

Note − The method required IPython 2+ version and must be executed in the notebook.
