5Diverging Bar Plots and Lollipop Plots

This chapter presents two peculiar types of graphics, diverging bar plots and lollipop plots, where the second one has an efficient implementation in ggplot but not in Seaborn, which forces to delve into maplotlib complications, lacking a specific support. It is of course possible that future versions of Seaborn (v. 12.2 is the one used for this book) will provide a native implementation of lollipop plots.
