snippet.py

# avoid false precision on floating point numbers
%precision 3
pd.set_option('display.precision', 3)

# use seaborn for nice theming
import seaborn as sns

# up the font sizes on graphs
sns.set_context("notebook", font_scale=1.5, rc={"lines.linewidth": 2.5})

# use a dark grid background (the default)
sns.set_style('darkgrid')

# use a gentle colour palette
sns.set_palette('muted')
