Facetgrid change xlabels

Question

I just can't figure out how to change the xlabels in a Seaborn FacetGrid. It offers a method for changing the x labels with set_xlabels() but unfortunately not individually for each subplot.

I have two subplots which share the y-axis but have a different x-axes and I want to label them with different texts.

As per seaborn.FacetGrid, it's better to directly use figure-level functions like g = sns.relplot(data=tips, kind='scatter', ...) instead of sns.FacetGrid. The answers still work for this. – Lewis

Answer 1

You can access the individual axes of the FacetGrid using the axes property, and then use set_xlabel() on each of them. For example:

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

sns.set(style="ticks", color_codes=True)

tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")

g = sns.FacetGrid(tips, col="time",  hue="smoker")
g = g.map(plt.scatter, "total_bill", "tip", edgecolor="w")

g.axes[0,0].set_xlabel('axes label 1')
g.axes[0,1].set_xlabel('axes label 2')

plt.show()

Note in this example, g.axes has a shape of (1,2) (one row, two columns).

Answer 2

for all axis to set them once use this

g.set_axis_labels("Total bill ($)")

The question is about individual axes labels for each subplot, therefore, your answer is not working (I made the same mistake when I read the question), – Puzzlement
