AttributeError: Unknown property legend in seaborn

Question

The seaborn stripplot has a function which allows hue.

Using the example from https://stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/generated/seaborn.stripplot.html

import seaborn as sns
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
ax = sns.stripplot(x=tips["total_bill"])
ax = sns.stripplot(x="sex", y="total_bill", hue="day", data=tips, jitter=True)

In this case, the legend is quite small, showing a different hue for each day. However, I would like to remove the legend.

Normally, one includes a parameter legend=False. However, for stripplot, this appears to output an attribute error:

AttributeError: Unknown property legend

Can one remove the legend for stripplots? If so, how does one do this?

@EliSadoff I'm a bit slow: how do you entirely remove the legend? — ShanZhengYang, Jun 30 '16 at 18:57
@EliSadoff Even if the answer is there, a reasonable search on removal topic wouldn't lead you to that question — Eli S, Feb 27 '20 at 20:52

Use ax.legend_.remove() like here:

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
ax = sns.stripplot(x="sex", y="total_bill", hue="day", data=tips, jitter=True)

# remove legend from axis 'ax'
ax.legend_.remove()

plt.show()
