How to set the range of y-axis for a seaborn boxplot

Question:

From the official seaborn documentation, I learned that you can create a boxplot as below:

import seaborn as sns
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
ax = sns.boxplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips)

Seaborn Boxplot Example

My question is: how do I limit the range of y-axis of this plot? For example, I want the y-axis to be within [10, 40]. Is there any easy way to do this?

Answers:

It is standard matplotlib.pyplot:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.ylim(10, 40)

Or simpler, as mwaskom comments below:

ax.set(ylim=(10, 40))
