SEABORN BUILT-IN DATASETS

Listing 5.31 displays the contents of seaborn_tips.py that illustrates how to read the tips dataset into a data frame and display the first five rows of the dataset.

Listing 5.31: seaborn_tips.py

import seaborn as sns

df = sns.load_dataset("tips")
print(df.head())

Listing 5.31 is very simple: after importing Seaborn, the variable df is initialized with the data in the built-in dataset tips, and the print() statement displays the first five rows of df. Note that the load_dataset() API searches for online or built-in datasets. The output from Listing 5.31 is here:
