Setting Up Seaborn

1:59 with AJ Tran

To get started with our project, we will have to import two libraries: Seaborn and Pandas. Then we will set the theme for the plots.

Importing the libraries

import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd

Setting the theme

sns.set_theme() calls the default values of:

sns.set_theme(context='notebook', style='darkgrid', palette='deep', font_scale=1)

The context can be set as paper, notebook, talk, or poster.

The theme can be set as darkgrid, whitegrid, dark, white, or ticks.

The palette can be set as deep, muted, bright, pastel, dark, or colorblind.

The font scale can be a float greater or less than 1 (eg. 1.5 or .75) to make the font bigger or smaller.
