[FIXED] How to show the vertical scale of marginal histogram in a jointplot

Issue

In Seaborn jointplot, the marginal histograms do not show the y axis values. How can I get these values? The documentation doesn't show any arguments to change this behavior.

Solution

You're going to have to work more on the matplotlib side of things. If you just want to get the limits of the axis, you can use get_ylim. The handle for those histograms are ax_marg_x and ax_marg_y.

g = sns.jointplot(...)
g.ax_marg_x.get_ylim()

You can also make the tick labels visible using set_visible on the tick labels:

for tick in g.ax_marg_x.get_yticklabels():
    tick.set_visible(True)

You can also create your own tick labels with set_yticklabels.
