Seaborn is a data visualization library built on Matplotlib. That provides an interface for creating attractive statistical graphics. 

 

To make a histogram plot, use the seaborn.histplot() function. It shows how you can distribute data. We use Seaborn Histograms to understand the frequency distribution of a discrete variable. We divide the data into bins and then show the number of observations in each bin. The data spread out gives you an idea. 

  

Here's how you can use the seaborn histplot() function:  

  • Import Seaborn and the data visualization library (matplotlib.pyplot) to create histograms.  
  • Load your dataset or create the data you want to visualize.   
  • Use the seaborn.histplot() function to create a histogram. You can provide the dataset, and Seaborn will automatically calculate the bin number.   
  • You can customize the appearance of the multiple histograms by using various functions.   
  • After creating the histogram, display it using plt.show() from Matplotlib.  

  

The seaborn.histplot() function is suitable for analyzing discrete numerical data. A seaborn.histplot() can analyze different types of data. 

  • Categorical Data   
  • Kernel Density Estimation (KDE)   
  • Continuous Numeric Data   
  • Cumulative or approximate Distribution   
  • Discrete Numeric Data   
  • Time Series Data   

 

You can create different plots using seaborn.histplot() and other Seaborn functions. 

  • Histogram with KDE  
  •  Stacked Histograms   
  • Cumulative Histogram  
  • Density Plot   
  • Distribution Plot with Multiple Variables  

 

In conclusion, the seaborn.histplot function is a visualization tool for data analysis. Its simplicity, ability to showcase data distributions, and compatibility with other Seaborn functions. Make it an essential part of any data analyst's toolkit. Histograms created using Seaborn can provide meaningful insights into your dataset.

Dependent Libraries : 
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sexo1 = pd.DataFrame({"Gender":['M','F'], "Some_Number":[27895,16092]})
#you can stick to size() 
#but use reset_index() so you can use "Gender" or "Sex" in your graph
sexo2 = sexo1.groupby('Gender').sum().reset_index() 
sexo2

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, figsize=[8,8])
sns.barplot(data=sexo2, x='Gender', y='Some_Number')
plt.show()

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.


  1. Download and Install the PyCharm Community Edition on your computer.
  2. Open the terminal and install the required libraries with the following commands.
  3. Install seaborn - pip install seaborn
  4. Create a new Python file on your IDE.
  5. Copy the snippet using the 'copy' button and paste it into your python file.
  6. Run the current file to generate the output.


I hope you found this useful.


I found this code snippet by searching for ' Ploting with seaborn histplot' in Kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. PyCharm Community Edition 2023.1
  2. The solution is created in Python 3.11.1 Version
  3. Seaborn 1.0.7 Version


Using this solution, we can able to use histplot function in seaborn with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to use histplot function in seaborn.

                      FAQ:  

                      1. What are the differences between univariate or bivariate histograms and Seaborn's histogram?  

                      You can use Seaborn's histplot function to create univariate and bivariate histograms. Univariate and bivariate histograms differ in the number of variables they analyze. They also provide information.  

                      • Univariate histograms focus on understanding the Distribution of a single variable,   
                      • Bivariate histograms show how two variables relate in a distribution.   
                      • The histplot function in Seaborn can create histograms of different types. This makes it a versatile tool for analyzing data distributions and relationships. 

                       

                      2. How can we use Seaborn as a visualization tool to understand data?  

                      Here's how you can use Seaborn as a visualization tool to understand data:  

                      • Installing Seaborn  
                      • Importing Seaborn  
                      • Loading Data  
                      • Choosing the Right Plot  
                      • Creating Visualizations  
                      • Customizing Plots  
                      • Displaying Plots  

                       

                      3. What is a histogram plot, and how is it created using Seaborn in Python?  

                      A histogram plot is a graphical representation of the Distribution of a dataset. Different groups on a number line observe things frequently. To create a histogram plot using Seaborn in Python, follow these steps:  

                      • Use the Seaborn library for visuals and the matplotlib to show the plot.pyplot library.  
                      • Load the dataset you want to visualize.  
                      • Use the sns.histplot() function to create a histogram.  
                      • You can customize the plot further by adding labels and titles and changing colors.  
                      • Use plt.show() to display the created histogram.  

                       

                      4. What are the features of a basic histogram constructed with Seaborn in Python?  

                      Here are the key features of a basic histogram created using Seaborn:  

                      • X-Axis and Y-Axis  
                      • Bins  
                      • Bar Heights  
                      • Density Estimation (KDE)  
                      • Customization Options  

                       

                      5. Using Seaborn, How does one create multiple plots on the same matplotlib axes?  

                      Use both libraries to create many plots on one Matplotlib axes with Seaborn. You can use it to customize and display your visualizations. This can be useful for comparing different plots or visualizing data. Here's how you can achieve this:  

                      • Import Libraries  
                      • Load Data  
                      • Create Plots  
                      • Customize the Plot  
                      • Display the Plot
