Currently,
pairplot(), unlike other plotting functions, requires that the data is apd.DataFrame. This prevents the function from working with objects that are fully compatible with DataFrame, but are of a different class. By changing the check to requiring the presence of a__dataframe__attribute, this is resolved.The patch relies on the DataFrame interoperability protocol (which is a fancy of saying that it checks the existence of a
__dataframe__()function) as well as the soft-standard of the__array__()function for array-like objects.For me, the main reason to submit this PR is to make seaborn fully compatible with DataMatrix 2.0. (Right now,
pairplot()is the only plot still failing.)
