Seaborn plots not showing up

Question

I m sure I m forgetting something very simple  but I cannot get certain plots to work with Seaborn    If I do   import seaborn as sns   Then any plots that I create as usual with matplotlib get the Seaborn styling  with the grey grid in the background    However  if I try to do one of the examples  such as   In  1   import seaborn as sns  In  2   sns set    In  3   df   sns load dataset  iris    In  4   sns pairplot df  hue  species   size 2 5  Out 4    lt seaborn axisgrid PairGrid at 0x3e59150 gt    The pairplot function returns a PairGrid object  but the plot doesn t show up    I m a little confused because matplotlib seems to be functioning properly  and the Seaborn styles are applied to other matplotlib plots  but the Seaborn functions don t seem to do anything  Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem

To avoid confusion  as there seems to be some in the comments   Assuming you are on Jupyter    matplotlib inline   displays the plots INSIDE the notebook  sns plt show     displays the plots OUTSIDE of the notebook    matplotlib inline will OVERRIDE sns plt show   in the sense that plots will be shown IN the notebook even when sns plt show   is called    And yes  it is easy to include the line in to your config   Automatically run  matplotlib inline in IPython Notebook  But it seems a better convention to keep it together with imports in the actual code

To tell from the style of your code snippet  I suppose you were using IPython rather than Jupyter Notebook   In this issue on GitHub  it was made clear by a member of IPython in 2016 that the display of charts would only work when  only work when it s a Jupyter kernel   Thus  the   matplotlib inline would not work   I was just having the same issue and suggest you use Jupyter Notebook for the visualization

Plots created using seaborn need to be displayed like ordinary matplotlib plots  This can be done using the  plt show     function from matplotlib   Originally I posted the solution to use the already imported matplotlib object from seaborn  sns plt show    however this is considered to be a bad practice  Therefore  simply directly import the matplotlib pyplot module and show your plots with  import matplotlib pyplot as plt plt show     If the IPython notebook is used the inline backend can be invoked to remove the necessity of calling show after each plot  The respective magic is   matplotlib inline

My advice is just to give a   plt figure   and give some sns plot  For example   sns distplot data     Though it will look it doesnt show any plot  When you maximise the figure  you will be able to see the plot

If you plot in IPython console  where you can t use  matplotlib inline  instead of Jupyter notebook  and don t want to run plt show   repeatedly  you can start IPython console with ipython --pylab     ipython --pylab      Python 3 6 6  Anaconda custom  64-bit    default  Jun 28 2018  17 14 51   Type  copyright    credits  or  license  for more information IPython 7 0 1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python  Type     for help  Using matplotlib backend  Qt5Agg  In  1   import seaborn as sns  In  2   tips   sns load dataset  tips    In  3   sns relplot x  total bill   y  tip   data tips    you can see the plot now
