I had a problem with the answer by @mwaskorn, namely that g.set_xticklabels(rotation=30) fails, because this also requires the labels. A bit easier than the answer by @Aman is to just add plt.xticks(rotation=45)
The following calls allow you to access the figure (Seaborn 0.8.1 compatible): swarm_plot = sns.swarmplot(…) fig = swarm_plot.get_figure() fig.savefig(“out.png”) as seen previously in this answer. The suggested solutions are incompatible with Seaborn 0.8.1. They give the following errors because the Seaborn interface has changed: AttributeError: ‘AxesSubplot’ object has no attribute ‘fig’ When trying to access … Read more
Use axhline (a horizontal axis line). For example, this plots a horizontal line at y = 0.5: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.axhline(y=0.5, color=”r”, linestyle=”-“) plt.show()
Plots created using seaborn need to be displayed like ordinary matplotlib plots. This can be done using the plt.show() function from matplotlib. Originally I posted the solution to use the already imported matplotlib object from seaborn (sns.plt.show()) however this is considered to be a bad practice. Therefore, simply directly import the matplotlib.pyplot module and show … Read more
There is a new API that makes this even simpler. plt.gca().invert_xaxis() and/or plt.gca().invert_yaxis()
The standard way to add vertical lines that will cover your entire plot window without you having to specify their actual height is plt.axvline import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.axvline(x=0.22058956) plt.axvline(x=0.33088437) plt.axvline(x=2.20589566) OR xcoords = [0.22058956, 0.33088437, 2.20589566] for xc in xcoords: plt.axvline(x=xc) You can use many of the keywords available for other plot commands (e.g. … Read more
Please review matplotlib: Tight Layout guide and try using matplotlib.pyplot.tight_layout, or matplotlib.figure.Figure.tight_layout As a quick example: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=4, ncols=4, figsize=(8, 8)) fig.tight_layout() # Or equivalently, “plt.tight_layout()” plt.show() Without Tight Layout With Tight Layout
