Python, Seaborn FacetGrid change titles

Question

I am trying to create a FacetGrid in Seaborn

My code is currently:

g = sns.FacetGrid(df_reduced, col=\"ActualExternal\", margin_titles=True)
bins = n

Although you can iterate through the axes and set the titles individually using matplotlib commands, it is cleaner to use seaborn's built-in tools to control the title. For example:

# Add a column of appropriate labels
df_reduced['measure'] = df_reduced['ActualExternal'].replace({0: 'Internal',
                                                              1: 'External'}

g = sns.FacetGrid(df_reduced, col="measure", margin_titles=True)
g.map(plt.hist, "ActualDepth", color="steelblue", bins=bins, width=4.5)

# Adjust title and axis labels directly
g.set_titles("{col_name}")  # use this argument literally
g.set_axis_labels(x_var="Percentage Depth", y_var="Number of Defects")

This has the benefit of not needing modification regardless of whether you have 1D or 2D facets.
