Scatter plot in Seaborn

A scatter plot is one of the most common plots in the scientific and business worlds. It is particularly useful for displaying the relationship between two variables. While we can simply use matplotlib.pyplot.scatter to draw a scatter plot, we can also use Seaborn to build similar plots with more advanced features.

The two functions seaborn.regplot() and seaborn.lmplot() display a linear relationship in the form of a scatter plot, a regression line, plus the 95% confidence interval around that regression line. The main difference between the two functions is that lmplot() combines regplot() with FacetGrid such that we can create color-coded or faceted scatter plots to show the interaction between three or more pairs ...
