Customizing point plots

Let's continue to look at data from students in secondary school, this time using a point plot to answer the question: does the quality of the student's family relationship influence the number of absences the student has in school? Here, we'll use the "famrel" variable, which describes the quality of a student's family relationship from 1 (very bad) to 5 (very good).

As a reminder, to create a point plot, use the catplot() function and specify the name of the categorical variable to put on the x-axis (x=____), the name of the quantitative variable to summarize on the y-axis (y=____), the pandas DataFrame to use (data=____), and the type of categorical plot (kind="point").

We've already imported Seaborn as sns and matplotlib.pyplot as plt.

What is Seaborn, and when should you use it? In this chapter, you will find out! Plus, you will learn how to create scatter plots and count plots with both lists of data and pandas DataFrames. You will also be introduced to one of the big advantages of using Seaborn - the ability to easily add a third variable to your plots by using color to represent different subgroups.

Exercise 1: Introduction to Seaborn Exercise 2: Making a scatter plot with lists Exercise 3: Making a count plot with a list Exercise 4: Using pandas with Seaborn Exercise 5: "Tidy" vs. "untidy" data Exercise 6: Making a count plot with a DataFrame Exercise 7: Adding a third variable with hue Exercise 8: Hue and scatter plots Exercise 9: Hue and count plots

In this chapter, you will create and customize plots that visualize the relationship between two quantitative variables. To do this, you will use scatter plots and line plots to explore how the level of air pollution in a city changes over the course of a day and how horsepower relates to fuel efficiency in cars. You will also see another big advantage of using Seaborn - the ability to easily create subplots in a single figure!

Exercise 1: Introduction to relational plots and subplots Exercise 2: Creating subplots with col and row Exercise 3: Creating two-factor subplots Exercise 4: Customizing scatter plots Exercise 5: Changing the size of scatter plot points Exercise 6: Changing the style of scatter plot points Exercise 7: Introduction to line plots Exercise 8: Interpreting line plots Exercise 9: Visualizing standard deviation with line plots Exercise 10: Plotting subgroups in line plots

Categorical variables are present in nearly every dataset, but they are especially prominent in survey data. In this chapter, you will learn how to create and customize categorical plots such as box plots, bar plots, count plots, and point plots. Along the way, you will explore survey data from young people about their interests, students about their study habits, and adult men about their feelings about masculinity.

In this final chapter, you will learn how to add informative plot titles and axis labels, which are one of the most important parts of any data visualization! You will also learn how to customize the style of your visualizations in order to more quickly orient your audience to the key takeaways. Then, you will put everything you have learned together for the final exercises of the course!
