Stacked barchart in PairGrid python seaborn

Question

I whish to reproduce the PairGrid plot found in that tutorial, but locally my barcharts are not stacked as in the tutorial and I can\'t figure out how to make them so.

Answer 1

The option for stacked histograms on the diagonal of a PairGrid has been removed from seaborn in this commit and hence is not available anymore in seaborn 0.9.

A workaround could be to collect all the data first and then plot it to the respective axes.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd 

df = sns.load_dataset('mpg')

g = sns.PairGrid(data=df[["mpg", "horsepower", "weight", "origin"]], hue="origin")
g.map_upper(sns.regplot)
g.map_lower(sns.residplot)

# below for the histograms on the diagonal
d = {}
def func(x, **kwargs):
    ax = plt.gca()

    if not ax in d.keys():
        d[ax] = {"data" : [], "color" : []}
    d[ax]["data"].append(x)
    d[ax]["color"].append(kwargs.get("color"))

g.map_diag(func)
for ax, dic in d.items():
    ax.hist(dic["data"], color=dic["color"], histtype="barstacked")

plt.show()
