Box plot visualization with Pandas and Seaborn

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

is the visual representation of the depicting groups of numerical data through their quartiles. Boxplot is also used for detect the outlier in data set. It captures the summary of the data efficiently with a simple box and whiskers and allows us to compare easily across groups. Boxplot summarizes a sample data using 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. These percentiles are also known as the lower quartile, median and upper quartile. A box plot consist of 5 things.

• Minimum
• First Quartile or 25%
• Median (Second Quartile) or 50%
• Third Quartile or 75%
• Maximum

One way to plot boxplot using pandas

is to use

function that is part of pandas library.

# import the required library 
import numpy as np 
import pandas as pd 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
% matplotlib inline


# load the dataset
df = pd.read_csv("tips.csv")

# display 5 rows of dataset
df.head()   

Boxplot of

with respect

.

df.boxplot(by ='day', column =['total_bill'], grid = False)

Boxplot of

with respect

.

df.boxplot(by ='size', column =['tip'], grid = False)

Syntax : seaborn.boxplot(x=None, y=None, hue=None, data=None, order=None, hue_order=None, orient=None, color=None, palette=None, saturation=0.75, width=0.8, dodge=True, fliersize=5, linewidth=None, whis=1.5, notch=False, ax=None, **kwargs) Parameters: x = feature of dataset y = feature of dataset hue = feature of dataset data = dataframe or full dataset color = color name

Let's see how to create the box plot through seaborn library. Information about "tips" dataset.

# load the dataset
tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')

tips.head()

Boxplot of

with respect

.

# Draw a vertical boxplot grouped 
# by a categorical variable:
sns.set_style("whitegrid")

sns.boxplot(x = 'day', y = 'total_bill', data = tips)

Let's take the first box plot i.e,

of the figure and understand these statistical things:

• Bottom black horizontal line of blue box plot is minimum value
• First black horizontal line of rectangle shape of blue box plot is First quartile or 25%
• Second black horizontal line of rectangle shape of blue box plot is Second quartile or 50% or median.
• Third black horizontal line of rectangle shape of blue box plot is third quartile or 75%
• Top black horizontal line of rectangle shape of blue box plot is maximum value.
• Small diamond shape of blue box plot is outlier data or erroneous data.
