seaborn.axes_style¶

seaborn.axes_style(style=None, rc=None)¶

Return a parameter dict for the aesthetic style of the plots.

This affects things like the color of the axes, whether a grid is enabled by default, and other aesthetic elements.

This function returns an object that can be used in a with statement to temporarily change the style parameters.

Parameters

styledict, None, or one of {darkgrid, whitegrid, dark, white, ticks}

A dictionary of parameters or the name of a preconfigured set.

rcdict, optional

Parameter mappings to override the values in the preset seaborn style dictionaries. This only updates parameters that are considered part of the style definition.
