Plotting two distributions in seaborn.jointplot

Question

I have two pandas dataframes I would like to plot in the same seaborn jointplot. It looks something like this (commands are don in an IPython shell; ipyth

Answer 1

Here is one way to do it by modifying the underlying data of sns.JointGrid.

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

# simulate some artificial data
# ========================================
np.random.seed(0)
data1 = np.random.multivariate_normal([0,0], [[1,0.5],[0.5,1]], size=200)
data2 = np.random.multivariate_normal([0,0], [[1,-0.8],[-0.8,1]], size=100)

# both df1 and df2 have bivaraite normals, df1.size=200, df2.size=100
df1 = pd.DataFrame(data1, columns=['x1', 'y1'])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data2, columns=['x2', 'y2'])


# plot
# ========================================   
graph = sns.jointplot(x=df1.x1, y=df1.y1, color='r')

graph.x = df2.x2
graph.y = df2.y2
graph.plot_joint(plt.scatter, marker='x', c='b', s=50)
