Visualization with Point Plots
Learn how to plot, design, and interpret point plots for data visualizations.
We'll cover the following...
Overview
Point plot represents the central tendency estimates for numerical variables using scatter plot points, such as mean, standard deviation, and so on. We can understand how the value of one variable changes across another variable.
Plotting point plots
We import the required libraries pandas
, seaborn
, numpy
, and matplotlib
. Next, we set the seaborn default theme using sns.set_theme()
and import the diamonds
dataset. We use the head()
function to view the first five records, as shown in the code below:

To begin, let’s plot a point plot between cut
and depth
using the sns.pointplot()
function. The resulting plot is shown below. We can see ...
