Factor plot in Seaborn

With the help of seaborn.factorplot(), we can draw categorical point plots, box plots, violin plots, bar plots, or strip plots onto a seaborn.FacetGrid() by tuning the kind parameter. The default plot type for factorplot is point plot. Unlike other plotting functions in Seaborn, which support a wide variety of input data formats, factorplot supports pandas DataFrames as input only, while variable/column names can be supplied as string to x, y, hue, col, or row:

import seaborn as snsimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltsns.set(style="ticks")# Plot EOD stock closing price vs Date for each company.# Color of plot elements is determined by company name (hue="Company"),# plot panels are also arranged in columns accordingly (col="Company"). ...
