在matplotlib的轴中设置轴标签

Question

I'm trying the following code to plot some graphs:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 20))
for idx, col in enumerate(['Pclass', 'Sex']):
    ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, idx+1)
    _ = ax.set(ylabel='Counts')
    _ = sns.countplot(x=col, hue='Survived', data=full, ax=ax)

The output I'm getting is:

As you can see the y label is set as the seaborn countplot default label 'count' , but I want to change it to 'Counts' . I've tried the axes method set_ylabel and set with ylabel argument and got no changes in the graphs. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Can you try the following, changing the ylabel after plotting

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 20))
for idx, col in enumerate(['Pclass', 'Sex']):
    ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, idx+1)
    sns.countplot(x=col, hue='Survived', data=full, ax=ax)
    ax.set_ylabel('Counts')
