Install Seaborn.

If you have Python and PIP already installed on a system, install it using this command:
C:\Users_Your Name>pip install seaborn
If you use Jupyter, install Seaborn using this command:
C:\Users_Your Name
>!pip install seaborn


Distplots

Distplot stands for distribution plot, it takes as input an array and plots a curve corresponding to the distribution of points in the array.

Import Matplotlib

import the pyplot object of the Matplotlib module in your code using following code

  1. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Import Seaborn

import the seaborn in your code using following code

  1. import seaborn as sns

Plotting a Displot

Example

  1. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  2. import seaborn as sns
  3. sns.distplot([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
  4. plt.show()

Plotting a Distplot Without the Histogram

Example

  1. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  2. import seaborn as sns
  3. sns.distplot([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], hist=False)
  4. plt.show()

Note: We will be using: sns.distplot(arr, hist=False) to visualize random distributions in this tutorial.
