Seaborn Palette widgets - Introduction
Palette widgets can be categorized into the various three kinds. Namely, qualitative, sequential and diverging. In the coming chapters we will understand and explore all these in great detail.
Qualitative palettes
When a variable is categorical in nature, a qualitative palette is employed, and the color assigned to each group must be distinct. One color from a qualitative palette is assigned to each potential value of the variable. To understand an example of this, the following graph can be used.
sns.barplot(x=["A", "B", "C"], y=[10, 30, 23])
The following output is produced.
Sequential Palettes
Colors in successive palettes changed gradually from lighter to darker. A sequential palette can be used to represent a variable when it has numerical values or intrinsically ordered values, as seen in the figure.
Diverging palettes
Diverging palettes are the ideal for visualizing mixed value tasks, such as +ve and -ve (low and high values).
Functions
The list of all the Seaborn functions regarding Palette widgets is given below −
