seaborn.axes_style(style=None, rc=None)
Return a parameter dict for the aesthetic style of the plots.
This affects things like the color of the axes, whether a grid is enabled by default, and other aesthetic elements.
This function returns an object that can be used in a with
statement to temporarily change the style parameters.
| Parameters: | style : dict, None, or one of {darkgrid, whitegrid, dark, white, ticks}
A dictionary of parameters or the name of a preconfigured set.
rc : dict, optional
Parameter mappings to override the values in the preset seaborn style dictionaries. This only updates parameters that are considered part of the style definition.
