Importing seaborn in python script messing up plot style

Question

Attached below are two plots. The only difference in the script that produced them is that the second one had an additional line:

import seaborn as sns

I am not setting any seaborn style yet. Just importing seaborn is changing plot style though, even in plots not using seaborn. Is there any way I can import seaborn (to be used in other plots), and not have the style changed for plots that do not use it?

Answer 1

Check this

import seaborn.apionly as sns or from seaborn.apionly import lmplot
