How do I plot a seaborn factorplot on a matplotlib subplot

For some reason, I just can't get this to work. What I end up getting is two grids with axes plotted on top of each other and then the second plot plotted under this. My code works fine for a seaborn distplot:

plt.subplot(121)
h = sns.distplot(dfmain["Runs"])

plt.subplot(122)
j = sns.distplot(dfHighScores["Runs"])

But if I try and plot two factor plots side by side (they are independent so I don't want the axes to be shared), then this just doesn't work as described above:

plt.subplot(121)
h = sns.factorplot("Runs",data=dfmain)

plt.subplot(122)
j = sns.factorplot("Runs",data=dfHighScores)

I get this behavior whether I use an iPython notebook or spyder as my IDE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to the documentation of factorplot it should be able do draw two plots side by side by itself. If you combine both your data frames into one (and add a column to tell between them) then something like this should work:

 sns.factorplot("Runs", col="mainOrHighScores", data=dfCombined)

Otherwise I think factorplot doesn't operate on axes (unlike distplot). In any case only functions that have an "ax" parameter for axes can draw on axes.
