Seaborn is a Python data visualization library based on Matplotlib.
It will help you make cool-looking plots.
Seaborn's color scheme is often preferred to Matplotlib's default.
Using the simple method seaborn.set() to change the default Matplotlib theme to the seaborn one.
# For our example dataframe
import pandas as pd
# For our plot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# We import seaborn
import seaborn as sns
# We change the theme here
sns.set()
# Generating sample data
df = pd.DataFrame({"col1":range(10)})
# Creating a canvas for our plots
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1,1, figsize=(12,6))
# We plot with a label parameter that will be in our legend.
axes.plot(df["col1"])
# We make our canvas tidy and clean
plt.tight_layout()
# We show the graph
plt.show()
Now you can use Matplotlib with Seaborn theme and create amazing charts!
