How to add title to seaborn boxplot
Seems pretty Googleable but haven't been able to find something online that works.
I've tried both sns.boxplot('Day', 'Count', data= gg).title('lalala')
and sns.boxplot('Day', 'Count', data= gg).suptitle('lalala')
. None worked. I think it might be because I'm also working with matplotlib.
Seaborn box plot returns a matplotlib axes instance. Unlike pyplot itself, which has a method plt.title()
, the corresponding argument for an axes is ax.set_title()
. Therefore you need to call
sns.boxplot('Day', 'Count', data= gg).set_title('lalala')
A complete example would be:
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
sns.boxplot(x=tips["total_bill"]).set_title("LaLaLa")
plt.show()
Of course you could also use the returned axes instance to make it more readable:
ax = sns.boxplot('Day', 'Count', data= gg)
ax.set_title('lalala')
ax.set_ylabel('lololo')
sns.boxplot() function returns Axes(matplotlib.axes.Axes) object. please refer the documentation you can add title using 'set' method as below:
sns.boxplot('Day', 'Count', data=gg).set(title='lalala')
you can also add other parameters like xlabel, ylabel to the set method.
sns.boxplot('Day', 'Count', data=gg).set(title='lalala', xlabel='its x_label', ylabel='its y_label')
There are some other methods as mentioned in the matplotlib.axes.Axes documentaion to add tile, legend and labels.
Try adding this at the end of your code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.title('add title here')
For a single boxplot:
import seaborn as sb
sb.boxplot(data=Array).set_title('Title')
For more boxplot in the same plot:
import seaborn as sb
sb.boxplot(data=ArrayofArray).set_title('Title')
e.g.
import seaborn as sb
myarray=[78.195229, 59.104538, 19.884109, 25.941648, 72.234825, 82.313911]
sb.boxplot(data=myarray).set_title('myTitle')
.set_title('') can be used to add title to Seaborn Plot
import seaborn as sb
sb.boxplot().set_title('Title')
