Expose error estimators and other statistical summary measures used for plots which perform aggregation and error estimates #3698

Would be a time saver and extremely useful if seaborn could expose statistical summary measures and error estimates that seaborn uses to create some plots.

And example is a barplot which potentially (obviously) uses a categorical x, plus a second fixed factor (hue) and a custom bootstrap to estimate confidence intervals. To be able to dump that data out would be incredibly useful.

thanks for an absolutely wonderful package.

Hi, sorry but this is considered out of scope and that is very unlikely to change: https://seaborn.pydata.org/faq.html#statistical-inquiries
