Appendix E — Seaborn tutorial

Appendix E — Seaborn tutorial#

WIP

See planned outline here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fwep23-95U-w1QMPU31nOvUnUXE2X3s_Dbk5JuLlKAY/edit#bookmark=id.3i7cktuf1u3i

In this tutorial, we’ll learn about Seaborn data visualizations. We’ll discuss Seaborn plot functions

TODO: LIST / TABLE

We’ll also describe the various options for customize plots’ the appearance, add annotations, and export plots as publication-quality images.

If you want to pursue a career in a data-related field, I highly recommend you get to know Seaborn by reading this tutorial and the other resources in the links section.

Introduction to Seaborn#

import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd

days = [1, 2, 3, 4]
cakes = [2, 5, 3, 4]
sns.lineplot(x=days, y=cakes)

# (optional) use Matplotlib axis methods to add labels
ax = sns.lineplot(x=days, y=cakes)
ax.set_xlabel("days")
ax.set_ylabel("cakes")
