How to change marker size in seaborn.catplot

Question

enter image description hereSo I have this code which generates a plot:

g=sns.catplot(data=public, x="age", y="number", col="species", kind="strip",
              jitter=True, order=order,
              palette=palette, alpha=0.5,linewidth=3,height=6, aspect=0.7)

How to I change markers size?

size=20 acts weird and seems to zoom the plot area instead of changing markers size. And i get:

'.conda-envs/py3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/seaborn/categorical.py:3692: UserWarning: The size paramter has been renamed to height; please update your code. warnings.warn(msg, UserWarning'

Answer 1

Use s instead of size. the default s is 5.

Example:

sns.catplot(x = "time",
       y = "total_bill",
        s = 20,
       data = tips)

sns.catplot(x = "time",
       y = "total_bill",
        s = 1,
       data = tips)

Answer 2

There is a conflict between the parameter 'size' in sns.stripplot and the deprecated 'size' of sns.catplot, so when you pass 'size' to the latter, it overrides the 'height' parameter and shows the warning message you saw.

Workaround

From looking inside the source code, I've found that 's' is an alias of 'size' in sns.stripplot, so the following works as you expected:

g=sns.catplot(data=public, x="age", y="number", col="species", kind="strip",
              jitter=True, order=order, s=20,
              palette=palette, alpha=0.5, linewidth=3, height=6, aspect=0.7)
