Note added in 2019: In modern seaborn versions the size argument has been renamed to height.

To be a little more concrete:

%matplotlib inline import seaborn as sns exercise = sns.load_dataset("exercise") # Defaults are size=5, aspect=1 sns.factorplot("kind", "pulse", "diet", exercise, kind="point", size=2, aspect=1) sns.factorplot("kind", "pulse", "diet", exercise, kind="point", size=4,
