Auto adjust font size in seaborn heatmap

Question

when using seaborn heatmap, is there a way to auto-adjust the font size for it to fit exactly inside the squares? for example in:

sns.heatmap(corrmat, vmin=         


        

Answer 1

If you want something automatic this is not bad:

annot_kws={"size": 35 / np.sqrt(len(corrmat))},

Answer 2

You can also do:

sns.heatmap(corrmat, vmin=corrmat.values.min(), vmax=1, square=True, cmap="YlGnBu", linewidths=0.1, annot=True, annot_kws={"fontsize":8})  

Answer 3

To adjust the font size of seaborn heatmap, there are different methods

import seaborn as sns # for data visualization
flight = sns.load_dataset('flights') # load flights datset from GitHub seaborn repository

# reshape flights dataeset in proper format to create seaborn heatmap
flights_df = flight.pivot('month', 'year', 'passengers') 

sns.heatmap(flights_df) # create seaborn heatmap

sns.set(font_scale=2) # font size 2

Output >>>

the sns.set(font_scale=2) # font size 2 set size for all seaborn graph labels that's reason follow another method if you like

import seaborn as sns # for data visualization
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # for data visualization

flight = sns.load_dataset('flights') # load flights datset from GitHub seaborn repository

# reshape flights dataeset in proper format to create seaborn heatmap
flights_df = flight.pivot('month', 'year', 'passengers') 

sns.heatmap(flights_df) # create seaborn heatmap


plt.title('Heatmap of Flighr Dataset', fontsize = 20) # title with fontsize 20
plt.xlabel('Years', fontsize = 15) # x-axis label with fontsize 15
plt.ylabel('Monthes', fontsize = 15) # y-axis label with fontsize 15

plt.show()

Output >>>

Answer 4

Although it distorts the heatmap, this example illustrates how to scale the font using .set(...) context

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.set(font_scale=3)

# Load the example flights dataset and conver to long-form
flights_long = sns.load_dataset("flights")
flights = flights_long.pivot("month", "year", "passengers")

# Draw a heatmap with the numeric values in each cell
f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(9, 6))
sns.heatmap(flights, annot=True, fmt="d", linewidths=.5, ax=ax)
f.savefig("output.png")
