How to save a Seaborn plot into a file

Question

I tried the following code (test_seaborn.py):

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use(\'Agg\')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
matplotlib.style.use(\'g         


        

Answer 1

You should just be able to use the savefig method of sns_plot directly.

sns_plot.savefig("output.png")

For clarity with your code if you did want to access the matplotlib figure that sns_plot resides in then you can get it directly with

fig = sns_plot.fig

In this case there is no get_figure method as your code assumes.
