Remove Seaborn barplot legend title

Question

I use seaborn to plot a grouped bar plot as in https://seaborn.pydata.org/examples/factorplot_bars.html

Giving me: https://seaborn.pydata.org/_images/factorplot_bars.png

there is a title (sex) on the legend which I would like to remove.

How could I achieve that?

Answer 1

This may be a hacky solution but it works: if you tell Seaborn to leave it off at the time of plotting and then add it back it doesn't have the legend title:

g = sns.factorplot(x='Age Group',y='ED',hue='Became Member',col='Coverage Type',                    col_wrap=3,data=gdf,kind='bar',ci=None,legend=False,palette='muted') #                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^ plt.suptitle('ED Visit Rate per 1,000 Members per Year',size=16) plt.legend(loc='best') plt.subplots_adjust(top=.925) plt.show() 

Example result:
