It seems like seaborn would be a step backwards if you're looking for fast plotting. Perhaps I got the wrong impression, but this month I spent some time helping a coworker migrate to plain matplotlib as the seaborn plots were taking minutes to process while my matplotlib based code took half a second.
- icegreentea2 5y agoSeaborn can definitely take longer to render than matplotlib in some (many?) cases, but is often much much faster in actually writing out the code to generate the plots. I think when most people complain about 'matplotlib not being efficient' (or whatever), they're talking about the time it takes to hammer out the plot, not necessarily the render time (unless they're trying to do animations...)
