Two-dimensional faceted plots

We are going to introduce three major ways to create faceted plots: seaborn.factorplot(), seaborn.FacetGrid(), and seaborn.pairplot(). You might have seen some faceted plots in the previous chapter, when we talked about seaborn.lmplot(). Actually, the seaborn.lmplot() function combines seaborn.regplot() with seaborn.FacetGrid(), and the definitions of data subsets can be adjusted by the hue, col, and row parameters.

We are going to introduce three major ways to create faceted plots: seaborn.factorplot(), seaborn.FacetGrid(), and seaborn.pairplot(). These functions actually work similarly to seaborn.lmplot() in the way of defining facets.
