Set axes labels and axes limits

In this particular example, we will be changing the label and the limit of the plot in a single code with the help of the suitable required functions of the python library.

Python3




# import packages
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
 
# create data
data = [3, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 23, 25, 28]
 
# plot distplot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
sns.distplot(data, ax = ax)
 
# This will change the limits of the x-axis
ax.set_xlim(1, 70)
 
# This will add label to the X-axis
ax.set_xlabel( "GFG X")
 
# This will add label to the Y-axis
ax.set_ylabel( "GFG Y")
 
# This will add title to the plot
ax.set_title( "GFG - GFG"
plt.show()

How to set axes labels & limits in a Seaborn plot?

In this article, we will learn How to set axes labels & limits in a Seaborn plot. Let’s discuss some concepts first.

  • Axis is the region in the plot that contains the data space. The Axes contain two or three-axis(in case of 3D) objects which take care of the data limits.
  • Axes Labels are the labels that describe the axes’ values in terms of meaning, units, and direction.
  • Axes Limits are the limits to the axes’ values, which are used to filter for a required value on axes.

Here, In this article, the content goes from setting the axes labels, axes limits, and both at a time. In the end, you will be able to learn how to set axes labels & limits in a Seaborn plot.
