How to get data shortcuts on planet Seaborn?

Question

I have two arrays like:

Soldier_years = [1850, 1851, 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855, 1856, 1857, 1858, 1859, 1860, 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870] num_records_yob = [7, 5, 8, 9, 15, 17, 23, 19, 52, 55, 73, 73, 107, 137, 65, 182, 228, 257, 477, 853, 2303] 

I am trying to get them in Seaborn's plan like this:

 %matplotlib inline import seaborn as sns import matplotlib.pyplot as plt sns.set(style="darkgrid") f, (ax) = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 6), sharex=True) sns.set_style("darkgrid") ax = sns.pointplot(x=Soldier_years, y=num_records_yob) 

I get pointplot like this:

This plot is what I want. How to get data labels for each of the points that will be displayed above the corresponding points?

I tried ax.patches but it is empty.

I am trying to make it look like this (but for pointplot):

Answer 1

you can do it like this:

 [ax.text(p[0], p[1]+50, p[1], color='g') for p in zip(ax.get_xticks(), num_records_yob)] 

Answer 2

In the future, when you need a more general answer, I suggest this code:

 ymin, ymax = ax.get_ylim() color="#3498db" # choose a color bonus = (ymax - ymin) / 50 # still hard coded bonus but scales with the data for x, y, name in zip(X, Y, names): ax.text(x, y + bonus, name, color=color) 

Note that I also changed the understanding in the for loop, I think it is more readable this way (when the list is really thrown away)
