Objects interface

Plot object

Plot	An interface for declaratively specifying statistical graphics.

Mark objects

Dot marks

Dot	A mark suitable for dot plots or less-dense scatterplots.
Dots	A dot mark defined by strokes to better handle overplotting.

Line marks

Line	A mark connecting data points with sorting along the orientation axis.
Lines	A faster but less-flexible mark for drawing many lines.
Path	A mark connecting data points in the order they appear.
Paths	A faster but less-flexible mark for drawing many paths.
Dash	A line mark drawn as an oriented segment for each datapoint.
Range	An oriented line mark drawn between min/max values.

Bar marks

Bar	A bar mark drawn between baseline and data values.
Bars	A faster bar mark with defaults more suitable for histograms.

Fill marks

Area	A fill mark drawn from a baseline to data values.
Band	A fill mark representing an interval between values.

Text marks

Text	A textual mark to annotate or represent data values.

Stat objects

Agg	Aggregate data along the value axis using given method.
Est	Calculate a point estimate and error bar interval.
Count	Count distinct observations within groups.
Hist	Bin observations, count them, and optionally normalize or cumulate.
KDE	Compute a univariate kernel density estimate.
Perc	Replace observations with percentile values.
PolyFit	Fit a polynomial of the given order and resample data onto predicted curve.

Move objects

Dodge	Displacement and narrowing of overlapping marks along orientation axis.
Jitter	Random displacement along one or both axes to reduce overplotting.
Norm	Divisive scaling on the value axis after aggregating within groups.
Stack	Displacement of overlapping bar or area marks along the value axis.
Shift	Displacement of all marks with the same magnitude / direction.

Scale objects

Boolean	A scale with a discrete domain of True and False values.
Continuous	A numeric scale supporting norms and functional transforms.
Nominal	A categorical scale without relative importance / magnitude.
Temporal	A scale for date/time data.

Base classes

Mark	Base class for objects that visually represent data.
Stat	Base class for objects that apply statistical transformations.
Move	Base class for objects that apply simple positional transforms.
Scale	Base class for objects that map data values to visual properties.

Function interface

Relational plots

relplot	Figure-level interface for drawing relational plots onto a FacetGrid.

swarmplot	Draw a categorical scatterplot with points adjusted to be non-overlapping.
boxplot	Draw a box plot to show distributions with respect to categories.
violinplot	Draw a patch representing a KDE and add observations or box plot statistics.
boxenplot	Draw an enhanced box plot for larger datasets.
pointplot	Show point estimates and errors using lines with markers.
barplot	Show point estimates and errors as rectangular bars.
countplot	Show the counts of observations in each categorical bin using bars.

Regression plots

lmplot	Plot data and regression model fits across a FacetGrid.
