Set Max value for color bar on seaborn heatmap

I need to set the max value on the seaborn heatmap cbar to 2. I've tried:

cbar_kws = { 'ticks' : [0, 2] } sns.heatmap(tiles, robust=True, fmt="f", cmap= 'RdBu_r', cbar_kws = cbar_kws) 

But this doesn't work and the documentation isn't very clear. How would I do this properly?

How do I change the color of my heatmap in Seaborn?

You can customize the colors in your heatmap with the cmap parameter of the heatmap() function in seaborn. The following examples show the appearences of different sequential color palettes.

How do you change the color scheme of a heat map?

You can color attribute values directly in the heat map. Right-click a rectangle in the heat map that represents an attribute value and choose Select color ranges and select colors from the pop-up.

What is Vmax in heatmap?

vmin, vmax: Values to anchor the colormap, otherwise they are inferred from the data and other keyword arguments. cmap: The mapping from data values to color space. center: The value at which to center the colormap when plotting divergent data.

What is CMAP in Seaborn?

Inside the variable data, we call a NumPy function rand which set the number limit for both the axes in the plot. Then, we have a Seaborn heatmap function, which takes the argument cmap. The cmap is set with the default color scheme which is the coolwarm colors.

I think you want to use the vmin and vmax parameters for the heatmap, as described in the docs:

vmin, vmax : floats, optional

Values to anchor the colormap, otherwise they are inferred from the data and other keyword arguments.

sns.heatmap(tiles, robust=True, fmt="f", cmap='RdBu_r', vmin=0, vmax=2)
