How to draw a distribution plot in seaborn?

Question

It comes out well in the histplot, but it doesn't draw well in the distplot.

sns.histplot(df[target])

sns.distplot(df[target])

maybe you need to zoom in on the Density axis (due to the huge magnitute of the x axis!) — Stef, Jun 21 '22 at 11:22
Also, update seaborn to 0.11.2. `distplot` is deprecated. Use `sns.histplot` or `sns.displot`. — Trenton McKinney, Jun 21 '22 at 15:24

Your x range of values is huge! sns.dist() plots the distribution probability meaning the sum will equal to 1. So essentially with this huge magnitude of your x values, you'll have very small probability values. This and your y graph range is -1 to 1. If you change your y range, you should get something closer to what you'd expect to see.

So change your y scale to something like:

sns.distplot(df[target])
plt.ylim(0, .1**27)

Please try sns.displot(data=df, x="target", kde=True)

or sns.displot(data=df, x="target", kind="kde")
