Seaborn Multi plot grids - Introduction



We'll look at multi-dimensional plot data in this post. Drawing the same plot numerous times on various dataset subsets is a valuable strategy. It enables a viewer to swiftly extract a significant amount of data from a complicated dataset. We will plot numerous graphs in Seaborn in two different ways. With the first using the Facetgrid() method and the second implicitly using Matplotlib.

There are different multi-plot grids available in seaborn and they are listed below.

S.No Name and Description
1 FacetGrid()

The FacetGrid class is useful when you want to visualize the distribution of a variable or the relationship between multiple variables separately within subsets of your dataset.

2 Pairplot()

Is used to plotpairwise relationships in a dataset.

3 PairGrid()

Is used to subplot grid for plotting pairwise relationships in a dataset.

4 Jointplot()

Is used to draw a plot of two variables with bivariate and univariate graphs.

5 JointGrid()

Is used as a Grid for drawing a bivariate plot with marginal univariate plots

Before moving on to understanding the working of these plots, we will understand how to load in-built datasets from the seaborn library since we will be using these datasets to learn about these functions.

Seaborn contains various default datasets in addition to being a statistical charting toolkit. We'll use the one of the in-built datasets as an example of a default dataset.

Let us consider the tips dataset in the first example. The 'tips' dataset comprises information about people who have likely eaten at a restaurant and whether or not they left a tip for the servers, as well as their gender, smoking status, and other factors.

The Seaborn.get_dataset_names() method helps to retrieve all the names of the in-built datasets.

seaborn.get_dataset_names()

load_dataset() method helps to load the dataset with the name into a data structure.

Tips=seaborn.load_dataset('tips')

The above line of code helps to load the dataset with the name 'tips' into a data structure called tips.

Now that we know where to load datasets from, we can move onto understanding the working of multi-plot grids in seaborn.
