splot Seaborn for plotting

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The various 'plot()' functions found in pysal/explore module have their own interface and signature while the same matplotlib.pyplot plot() function is used in the end.

Describe the solution you'd like A unified flexible interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered Seaborn module for all plots will solve this problem while providing additional capabilities for free.

Thanks for raising this. I think it is more appropriate to continue this thread over in splot, so I'm relocating the issue there.

@vpapaioannou thank you for raising this issue! I'd be happy to have a look at unifying this!

I'd like to first double check with you: pysal/explore has a lot of functionality some of the plotting functionality is based on splot other plots are not. I.e. it can pysal/explore can be part of the giddy or esda packages. Would you mind giving me a pointer to which classes you have used in pysal/explore that have the same backend functions you are referring to? We could potentially start with unifying these.

I used the plot() of simulated envelopes that is now deprecated and the PointPattern plot().

@sjsrey are these covered by splot? If not maybe worth a thought adding them to the functionality as one plot? Otherwise this might be more appropriate to solve in the respective packages?
