Seaborn


Visualize Distributions With Seaborn

Seaborn is a library that uses Matplotlib underneath to plot graphs. It will be used to visualize random distributions.

Install Seaborn.

If you have Python and PIP already installed on a system, install it using this command:

C:\Users\ Your Name>pip install seaborn

If you use Jupyter, install Seaborn using this command:

C:\Users\ Your Name>!pip install seaborn

Distplots

Distplot stands for distribution plot, it takes as input an array and plots a curve corresponding to the distribution of points in the array.


Import Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

You can learn about the Matplotlib module in our Matplotlib Tutorial.


Import Seaborn

import seaborn as sns

Plotting a Distplot

Example

import seaborn as sns

sns.distplot([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], hist=False)

plt.show()
