title: Seaborn boxplots changes (narrows) width of boxes when a hue is chosen, how might I remedy this?
body: <p>I am using seaborn to create a boxplot. When I specify a column by which to group/color the boxes, the width of the boxes becomes so narrow that they are hard to see. The only change I am making is specifying an argument for hue, which points to a column in the dataframe passed. I have tried using the 'width' parameter (as mentioned <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31063005/how-to-widen-boxes-in-seaborn-boxplot">here</a>), which does increase the width of the boxplots, but also the distance at which they are spread apart. </p>
  
  <p>Help: How can I maintain the width of the boxes while specifying a hue parameter?</p>
  
  <p>I will show my code and results below:</p>
  
  <p>My dataframe:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Out[3]: 
                     timestamp   room_number floor       floor_room  temperature

  <p>Use of seaborn with odd boxplot widths, using a grouping factor:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sns.boxplot(x=xunit, y=var, data=df, order=order, hue='floor')
  </code></pre>

  <p>Use of seaborn that has reasonable boxplot widths, but no grouping factor:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sns.boxplot(x=xunit, y=var, data=df)
  </code></pre>
