Binned scatterplot Python

Question

Is there a simple way or a package for creating binned scatterplots in python?

I have a scatterplot. I am fitting a local polynomial regression to the data using the package "localreg". I get multiple lines as output. I am searching for a 1 line output. In order to get this I want to used a binned scatterplot. Is there no easy way to do this ?

There is the hexabin plot in Matplotlib, if this suits your purpose. Here is an example. Here another example using seaborn.

You can first bin your arrays, do your fitting and then create your plot.

How will you implement that exactly? I was thinking it should be possible to do it after I run the localreg? But how do I match my X and Y? – Chris Mar 27 '20 at 14:06
