Seaborn Futurewarning: Pass The Following Variables As Keyword Args: X, Y

I want to plot a seaborn regplot. my code: x=data['Healthy life expectancy'] y=data['max_dead'] sns.regplot(x,y) plt.show() However this gives me future warning error. How to fix

Solution 1:

• Technically, it's a warning, not an error, and can be ignored for now, as shown in the bottom section of this answer.
• I recommend doing as the warning says, specify the x and y parameters for seaborn.regplot, or any of the other seaborn plot functions with this warning.
• sns.regplot(x=x, y=y), where x and y are parameters for regplot, to which you are passing x and y variables.
• Beginning in version 0.12, passing any positional arguments, except data, will result in an error or misinterpretation.
  • For those concerned with backward compatibility, write a script to fix existing code, or don't update to 0.12 (once available).
• x and y are used as the data variable names because that is what is used in the OP. Data can be assigned to any variable name (e.g. a and b).
• This also applies to FutureWarning: Pass the following variable as a keyword arg: x, which can be generated by plots only requiring x or y, such as:
  • sns.countplot(pen['sex']), but should be sns.countplot(x=pen['sex']) or sns.countplot(y=pen['sex'])

import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd

pen = sns.load_dataset('penguins')

x = pen.culmen_depth_mm  # or bill_depth_mm
y = pen.culmen_length_mm  # or bill_length_mm# plot without specifying the x, y parameters
sns.regplot(x, y)

# plot with specifying the x, y parameters
sns.regplot(x=x, y=y)

# or use
sns.regplot(data=pen, x='bill_depth_mm', y='bill_length_mm')

Ignore the warnings

• I do not advise using this option.
• Once seaborn v0.12 is available, this option will not be viable.
• From version 0.12, the only valid positional argument will be data, and passing other arguments without an explicit keyword will result in an error or misinterpretation.

import warnings
warnings.simplefilter(action="ignore", category=FutureWarning)

# plot without specifying the x, y parameters
sns.regplot(x, y)
