Seaborn lineplot without lines between points
Question:
How can I use the lineplot plotting function in seaborn to create a plot with no lines connecting between the points. I know the function is called lineplot, but it has the useful feature of merging all datapoints with the same x value and plotting a single mean and confidence interval.
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.lineplot(x='size', y='total_bill', data=tips, marker='o', err_style='bars')
How do I plot without the line? I’m not sure of a better way to phrase my question. How can I plot points only? Lineless lineplot?
I know that seaborn has a pointplot function, but that is for categorical data. In some cases, my x-values are continuous values, so pointplot would not work.
I realize one could get into the matplotlib figure artists and delete the line, but that gets more complicated as the amount of stuff on the plot increases. I was wondering if there are some sort of arguments that can be passed to the lineplot function.
Answers:
To get error bars without the connecting lines, you can set the linestyle parameter to '':
import seaborn as sns
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.lineplot(x='size', y='total_bill', data=tips, marker='o', linestyle='', err_style='bars')
Other types of linestyle could also be interesting, for example "a loosely dotted line": sns.lineplot(..., linestyle=(0, (1, 10)))
I recommend setting join=False.
