Plotting graph For IRIS Dataset Using Seaborn And Matplotlib

Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

Matplotlib.pyplot library is most commonly used in Python in the field of machine learning. It helps in plotting the graph of large dataset. Not only this also helps in classifying different dataset. It can plot graph both in 2d and 3d format. It has a feature of legend, label, grid, graph shape, grid and many more that make it easier to understand and classify the dataset.

Seaborn provides a beautiful with different styled graph plotting that make our dataset more distinguishable and attractive.

Installation

To install the package write the below code in terminal of ubuntu/Linux or Window Command prompt.

pip install matplotlib
pip install seaborn

Plotting graph For IRIS Dataset Using Seaborn Library And matplotlib.pyplot library

Loading data

Python3

import numpy as np 
import pandas as pd 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 

data = pd.read_csv("Iris.csv") 
  
print (data.head(10))

Output:

Plotting Using Matplotlib

Python3

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
iris = pd.read_csv("Iris.csv")

plt.plot(iris.Id, iris["SepalLengthCm"], "r--")
plt.show

Scatter Plot

Python3

iris.plot(kind ="scatter",
          x ='SepalLengthCm',
          y ='PetalLengthCm')
plt.grid()

Plotting using Seaborn

Python3

import seaborn as sns

iris = sns.load_dataset('iris')

# style used as a theme of graph 
# for example if we want black 
# graph with grid then write "darkgrid"
sns.set_style("whitegrid")

# sepal_length, petal_length are iris
# feature data height used to define
# Height of graph whereas hue store the
# class of iris dataset.
sns.FacetGrid(iris, hue ="species", 
              height = 6).map(plt.scatter, 
                              'sepal_length', 
                              'petal_length').add_legend()
