Frequently Asked Questions

What is Seaborn used for in Python?

Seaborn is a high-level data visualization library built on top of Matplotlib. It simplifies creating statistical graphics such as bar plots, histograms, KDE plots, and scatter plots, especially from Pandas DataFrames.

Do I need Matplotlib to use Seaborn?

Yes. Seaborn is built on top of Matplotlib and uses it to render figures. You typically import both libraries, but most of the time you call Seaborn functions and only use Matplotlib to fine-tune or display plots.

Which Seaborn plots should I learn first for data science?

Start with count plots, bar plots, histograms, KDE plots, scatter plots, and line plots. These cover most exploratory data analysis tasks and will make you effective at understanding real datasets quickly.
