Plotting boxplot and clustermap on one figure. #1759

Closed dburkhardt closed 5 years ago

dburkhardt commented 5 years ago

Hi all, thank you for maintaining this wonderful package. I'm interested in creating a single figure with both a clustermap and a boxplot like this:

Here, the yaxis of the heatmap subplot and yaxis of the boxplot are shared.

It seems like there's no current way to do this with seaborn because the clustergrid class creates a new figure when called. I understand that I could manually cluster the rows / columns of a dataframe and just use sns.heatmap, but it would be nice to have support for figures like this.

I found one issue on SO from a few years ago that ended in a sad resolution of plotting the boxplot within one of the dendrogram axes, but that seems like a disappointing solution. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39170455/seaborn-clustermap-within-subplot)

Do you all have any ideas? Is this a fools errand?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can always move axes around and add other axes after creating a figure using matplotlib commands. That would be my advice.

@mwaskom May you please provide a code snippet/example on how to move the axes of a seaborn clustermap? I am not able to find how to do it.

Starting with 2 clustermaps, how would you plot them side by side?

Thank you in advance!
