Tweaking Plot Parameters

Looking at the last figure in our previous section, we find that the legend is not appropriately placed. We can tweak the plot parameters to adjust the placements of the legends and the axis labels, as well as change the font-size and rotation of the tick labels.

Exercise 11: Tweaking the Plot Parameters of a Grouped Bar Plot

In this exercise, we'll tweak the plot parameters, for example, hue, of a grouped bar plot. We'll see how to place legends and axis labels in the right places and also explore the rotation feature:

1. Import the necessary modules—in this case, only seaborn:

   #Import seaborn
   import seaborn as sns

2. Load the dataset:

   diamonds_df = sns.load_dataset('diamonds')

3. Use the hue parameter to plot nested groups:

   ax = sns.barplot(x="cut", y="price", hue='color', data=diamonds_df)

   The output is as follows:

4. Place the legend appropriately...
