Scale and Context

The set_context() allows us to override default parameters. This affects things like the size of the labels, lines, and other elements of the plot, but not the overall style. 

The context are:

  • poster
  • paper
  • notebook
  • talk

Example 1: using poster.

Python3




import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.set_context('poster', font_scale = 2)
sns.countplot(x ='sex', data = tips, palette ='coolwarm')


Output:
 

Example 2: Using paper.

Python3




import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.set_context('paper', font_scale = 2)
sns.countplot(x ='sex', data = tips, palette = 'coolwarm')


Output:

Example 3: Using notebook.

Python3




import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.set_context('notebook', font_scale = 2)
sns.countplot(x ='sex', data = tips, palette ='coolwarm')


Output:

Example 4: Using talk.

Python3




import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.set_context('talk', font_scale = 2)
sns.countplot(x ='sex', data = tips, palette ='coolwarm')


Output:
