ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (244,2) into shape (244,)

Question

I am trying to plot a simple Seaborn plot.

import seaborn as sns
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')

#Plotting our subplots dividing with smoker
sns.relplot(x = "total_bill", y = "tip", hue = "smoker", col = "size", data = tips)

#Showing our plots in a proper format
plt.show()

But it is showing an error

ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (244,2) into shape (244,)

What should I do?

Answer 1

There seems to be a bug with the 'size' column name. That's strange, because tips is one of seaborn's typical example datasets.

It works as expected when that column gets renamed:

import seaborn as sns
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
tips.rename(columns={'size': 'size_renamed'}, inplace=True)
sns.relplot(x='total_bill', y='tip', hue='smoker', col='size_renamed', data=tips)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
