To understand seaborn further, it is helpful to be aware of the hierarchy between the functions that return multiple Axes as a seaborn Grid and those that return single Axes:
|
Grid type |
Grid function |
Axes functions |
Variable type |
|
FacetGrid |
factorplot |
stripplot, swarmplot, boxplot, violinplot, lvplot, pointplot, barplot, countplot |
Categorical |

FacetGrid |
lmplot |
regplot |

|
PairGrid |
pairplot |
regplot, distplot, kdeplot |
Continuous |
|
JointGrid |
jointplot |
regplot, kdeplot, residplot |
Continuous |
|
ClusterGrid |
clustermap |
heatmap |

The seaborn Axes functions may all be called independently to produce a single plot. The Grid functions, for the most part, use the Axes functions to build the grid. The final objects returned from the Grid functions are of Grid type, of which...
