Boxplot of Multiple Columns of a Pandas Dataframe on the Same Figure (seaborn)

by

The seaborn equivalent of

df.boxplot()

is

sns.boxplot(x="variable", y="value", data=pd.melt(df))

or just

sns.boxplot(data=df)

which will plot any column of numeric values, without converting the DataFrame from a wide to long format, using seaborn v0.11.1. This will create a single figure, with a separate boxplot for each column.

Complete example with melt:

import numpy as np; np.random.seed(42)
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

df = pd.DataFrame(data = np.random.random(size=(4,4)), columns = ['A','B','C','D'])

sns.boxplot(x="variable", y="value", data=pd.melt(df))

plt.show()

enter image description here

This works because pd.melt converts a wide-form dataframe
