stripplot
(x=None, y=None, hue=None, data=None, order=None, hue_order=None, jitter=True, dodge=False, orient=None, color=None, palette=None, size=5, edgecolor=’gray’, linewidth=0, ax=None, **kwargs)¶Draw a scatterplot where one variable is categorical.
A strip plot can be drawn on its own, but it is also a good complement to a box or violin plot in cases where you want to show all observations along with some representation of the underlying distribution.
Input data can be passed in a variety of formats, including:
x
, y
, and/or hue
parameters.x
, y
, and hue
variables will determine how the data are plotted.In most cases, it is possible to use numpy or Python objects, but pandas objects are preferable because the associated names will be used to annotate the axes. Additionally, you can use Categorical types for the grouping variables to control the order of plot elements.
This function always treats one of the variables as categorical and draws data at ordinal positions (0, 1, … n) on the relevant axis, even when the data has a numeric or date type.

Examples
Draw a single horizontal strip plot:
>>> import seaborn as sns
>>> sns.set(style="whitegrid")
>>> tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x=tips["total_bill"])
Group the strips by a categorical variable:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips)
Add jitter to bring out the distribution of values:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips, jitter=True)
Use a smaller amount of jitter:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips, jitter=0.05)
Draw horizontal strips:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="total_bill", y="day", data=tips,
... jitter=True)
Draw outlines around the points:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="total_bill", y="day", data=tips,
... jitter=True, linewidth=1)
Nest the strips within a second categorical variable:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="sex", y="total_bill", hue="day",
... data=tips, jitter=True)
Draw each level of the hue
variable at different locations on the
major categorical axis:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="day", y="total_bill", hue="smoker",
... data=tips, jitter=True,
... palette="Set2", dodge=True)
Control strip order by passing an explicit order:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="time", y="tip", data=tips,
... order=["Dinner", "Lunch"])
Draw strips with large points and different aesthetics:
>>> ax = sns.stripplot("day", "total_bill", "smoker", data=tips,
... palette="Set2", size=20, marker="D",
... edgecolor="gray", alpha=.25)
Draw strips of observations on top of a box plot:
>>> ax = sns.boxplot(x="tip", y="day", data=tips, whis=np.inf)
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="tip", y="day", data=tips,
... jitter=True, color=".3")
Draw strips of observations on top of a violin plot:
>>> ax = sns.violinplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips,
... inner=None, color=".8")
>>> ax = sns.stripplot(x="day", y="total_bill", data=tips, jitter=True)
Use catplot()
to combine a stripplot()
and a
FacetGrid
. This allows grouping within additional categorical
variables. Using catplot()
is safer than using FacetGrid
directly, as it ensures synchronization of variable order across facets:
>>> g = sns.catplot(x="sex", y="total_bill",
... hue="smoker", col="time",
... data=tips, kind="strip",
... jitter=True,
... height=4, aspect=.7);
