How to create box plot?

To create box plot write module_name.boxplot(). In the bracket write parameters.

Mandatory parameters:

x="column name for x axis"

y="column name for y axis"

data=variable name where you stored dataset

hue="column name".Hue means, for which your x a y axis values are. Suppose for sex you want to see total bill in days, so use total bill in y axis and day in x axis and sex column in hue.

Some other parameters:

palette:palette value name.There are some fixed name for this parameter. You can use those names for different pre-build color. Example:Accent_r, hot, inferno_r, husl, etc.

orient="vertical or horizontal(default)".

How to give title,labels,legend,grid?
Title
For title write module_name.title().
In the bracket write the title as a string. For font size write fontsize:value. Between title name and fontsize parameter give a coma.

xlabel
For label at x-axis write module_name.ylabel().
In the bracket write label name as string. For font size write fontsize:value. Between label name and fontsize parameter give a coma.

ylabel
For label at y-axis write module_name. ylabel().
In the bracket write label name as string. For fontsize write fontsize:value. Between label name and fontsize parameter give a coma.

grid
For grid first write module_name.grid().
Some parameters of the grid are
1.color: used to set the color of the grid.Example: color="green".
2.linestyle: used to set grid line style.Example: linestyle="--".
3.linewidth: used to set line width of the grid.example: linewidth=2.

Example:

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

df=pd.read_csv("E\\CSV4.csv")
sns.boxplot(x="day",y="total_bill",data=df,hue="sex",palette="husl")
plt.grid(color="b",linestyle="--",linewidth=0.2)
plt.title("Box plot",fontsize=0.2)
plt.show()
