Why does seaborn displot create unexpected subplot behavior?

seaborn displot is not plotting within defined subplots

When attempting to plot two displots side by side with seaborn displot, an unexpected result may occur. Instead of the desired two plots, two empty subplots followed by one displot on two lines may appear. This issue stems from the deprecation of seaborn.distplot in seaborn 0.11.

Solution:

To resolve this issue, replace displot with histplot, which is the axes-level function for plotting histograms.

<code class="python">fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2)

sns.histplot(x=X_train['Age'], hue=y_train, ax=ax1)
sns.histplot(x=X_train['Fare'], hue=y_train, ax=ax2)</code>

Explanation:

• Deprecation of distplot: seaborn.distplot has been deprecated in favor of displot and histplot.
• Figure-level vs. axes-level plots: displot is a figure-level plot that does not work with matplotlib.pyplot.subplots, while histplot is an axes-level plot that does.
• Axes-level equivalent: For plots that lack an ax parameter, use the equivalent axes-level plot. In this case, histplot is the axes-level equivalent of displot.
• subplot alternative methods:
  Refer to the How to plot in multiple subplots documentation for other methods of plotting in matplotlib.pyplot.subplots.

By using histplot instead of displot, you can successfully plot two histograms side by side within defined subplots.
