Plotting 2 seaborn KDE joint plots in the same row

Question

Is there a way to plot two KDE joint plots side by side? I have been able to display almost everyt type of graphs that seaborn can produce using something like this:

power_t_series = sDF.pitch
velocity_t_series = sDF.velocity
duration_t_series = sDF.duration

figure, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=2)
figure.set_size_inches(20,10)
b, g = sns.color_palette("muted", 2)

sns.tsplot(power_t_series, color = b, ax=axes[0])
sns.distplot(power_t_series, color = r, ax=axes[1])

But when specifying jointplot, is top-down the only way to display multiple charts of this nature? Here is the code and the error:

figure, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=2)
figure.set_size_inches(20,10)
b, g = sns.color_palette("muted", 2)

sns.jointplot(power_t_series, velocity_t_series, kind='kde', ax=axes[0])
sns.jointplot(power_t_series, duration_t_series, kind='kde', ax=axes[1])

I get this:

      3 b, g = sns.color_palette("muted", 2)
      4 
----> 5 sns.jointplot(power_t_series, velocity_t_series, kind='kde', ax=axes[0])
      6 sns.jointplot(power_t_series, duration_t_series, kind='kde', ax=axes[1])

TypeError: jointplot() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ax' 

Is there any way to plot this type of chart side by side, since ax is not an argument accepted by jointplot()?

Answer 1

jointplot is a figure-level function and can't coexist in a figure with other plots, but there is the kdeplot function which can draw a 2-d KDE onto a specific Axes. See this example.
