I would like to arrange four Seaborn plots in a 2 x 2 grid. I tried the following code but I got an exception. I would also like to know how to set titles and xlabel, ylabel in the subplots and a title for the overall grid plot.

Some toy data:

df
'{"age":{"76":33,"190":30,"255":36,"296":27,"222":19,"147":39,"127":23,"98":24,"168":29,"177":39,"197":27,"131":36,"36":30,"219":28,"108":38,"198":34,"40":32,"246":24,"109":26,"117":47,"20":26,"113":24,"279":35,"120":35,"7":26,"119":28,"272":24,"66":28,"87":28,"133":28},"Less_than_College":{"76":1,"190":1,"255":0,"296":1,"222":1,"147":1,"127":0,"98":0,"168":1,"177":1,"197":0,"131":1,"36":0,"219":0,"108":0,"198":0,"40":0,"246":0,"109":1,"117":1,"20":0,"113":0,"279":0,"120":0,"7":0,"119":1,"272":0,"66":1,"87":0,"133":0},"college":{"76":0,"190":0,"255":0,"296":0,"222":0,"147":0,"127":1,"98":1,"168":0,"177":0,"197":1,"131":0,"36":1,"219":1,"108":0,"198":1,"40":1,"246":0,"109":0,"117":0,"20":1,"113":1,"279":0,"120":1,"7":1,"119":0,"272":0,"66":0,"87":1,"133":1},"Bachelor":{"76":0,"190":0,"255":1,"296":0,"222":0,"147":0,"127":0,"98":0,"168":0,"177":0,"197":0,"131":0,"36":0,"219":0,"108":1,"198":0,"40":0,"246":1,"109":0,"117":0,"20":0,"113":0,"279":1,"120":0,"7":0,"119":0,"272":1,"66":0,"87":0,"133":0},"terms":{"76":30,"190":15,"255":30,"296":30,"222":30,"147":15,"127":15,"98":15,"168":30,"177":30,"197":15,"131":30,"36":15,"219":15,"108":30,"198":7,"40":30,"246":15,"109":15,"117":15,"20":15,"113":15,"279":15,"120":15,"7":15,"119":30,"272":15,"66":30,"87":30,"133":15},"Principal":{"76":1000,"190":1000,"255":1000,"296":1000,"222":1000,"147":800,"127":800,"98":800,"168":1000,"177":1000,"197":1000,"131":1000,"36":1000,"219":800,"108":1000,"198":1000,"40":1000,"246":1000,"109":1000,"117":1000,"20":1000,"113":800,"279":800,"120":800,"7":800,"119":1000,"272":1000,"66":1000,"87":1000,"133":1000}}'

ax is matplotlib object that do not have sns attribute, because of this you are getting error. sns is seaborn object. If you want to use ax object with seaborn plot for your case pass parameter ax=ax in seaborn object as follows:

fig = plt.figure()
fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.4, wspace=0.4)
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, 1)
sns.distplot(df.Principal,ax=ax)
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, 2)
sns.distplot(df.terms,ax=ax)
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, 3)
sns.barplot(data = df[['Less_than_College', 'college', 'Bachelor']],ax=ax)
ax.set_xticklabels(ax.get_xticklabels(), rotation=90)
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, 4)
sns.boxplot(df['age'],ax=ax)
plt.show()

The plot looks like this.

    Running in seaborn 0.11.2 yields: `UserWarning: displot is a figure-level function and does not accept the ax= parameter. You may wish to try histplot.` And the plots are drawn in separate figures. This [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/63895570/5752730) provides some more info. – DV82XL Nov 20 '21 at 21:50
