Python Seaborn Distribution Plots: Joint Plot

The joint plot is the concise way of understanding the relationship between two variables as well as the individual distribution of each variable.

The Joint plot is consists of 3 separate plots. In which one is the middle figure which is used to see the relationship between x and y. This area gives us information about the joint distribution while the other two areas give us marginal distribution for the x and y-axis.

Syntax

seaborn.jointplot(x,  y,  data=None, kind=’scatter’, stat_func=None, color=None, height=6, ratio=5, space=0.2, dropna=True,  xlim=None, ylim=None, joint_kws=None, marginal_kws=None, annot_kws=None, **kwargs)

Parameters

• x,y: Variables that specify x-axes and y-axes.
• data: The input datasets.
• kind: The kind of plot to draw.
• color: The parameter used to take Color for the plot elements.
• space: The space between a joint distribution and marginal distribution.
• xlim, ylim: The limit of x and y-axis.

Example

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
data = sns.load_dataset("geyser")
data.head(5)

Output

sns.jointplot(x='waiting', y='duration', data=data)
plt.show()

Output:
