A line plot is created to visualize the crime trend over the years for all offense code groups. The plt.figure(figsize=(15, 18)) line sets the size of the figure to be created, specifying a width of 15 units and a height of 18 units. The sns.lineplot function is utilized for generating the line plot, where the x-axis represents the years (‘YEAR’), the y-axis represents the count of crimes (‘COUNT’), and different offense code groups are distinguished by color, thanks to the ‘hue’ parameter. The data used for plotting is sourced from the crimedf_new DataFrame.
The legend function is applied to place the legend outside the plot area, specifically to the left of the plot. Additional adjustments to the legend’s appearance are made using parameters such as loc, bbox_to_anchor, fancybox, shadow, and borderpad.
In summary, this code produces a comprehensive line plot that visually depicts the crime trend over the years, considering various offense code groups. By incorporating different colors for each offense code group and providing a clear legend, the plot facilitates the interpretation of how different types of crimes have evolved over the specified time period. The figure size ensures that the plot is appropriately scaled to accommodate the complexity of visualizing multiple offense code groups over the years.
