Strip Plots & Swarm Plots in Python (Seaborn)
Dec 6, 2020
Strip plots are a good alternative to Scatter plots when visually capturing all, especially overlapping data points in an observation. Unlike a scatter plot, where 2 similar data points are superimposed, a strip plot juxtaposes the values (argument — jitter=‘True’)

Tips dataset contains the data from a restaurant. It has 7 columns that capture the total_bill, tip rendered, sex of the person rendering the tip, whether the person was a smoker, day of the week, time of the day and size of the table.
Scatter Plot
Strip Plot
Swarm Plot
The plots resemble a swarm of bees and hence the name. A swarm plot is a categorical scatter plot, similar to a strip plot except that the location of points are automatically adjusted to avoid overlap even if the jitter value is not applied.
