access to bin counts in seaborn distplot

Question

In pyplot's hist() function, we are able to access the values of the histogram bins (through the return n); is it possible to access this same information from Seaborn's distplot? Seaborn only returns an axis object.

Ultimately, I'd like juxtapose a line plot on top of the histogram which sums the counts in the bins.

yeah i was looking at `numpy.histogram` is that what's being called in the backend by seaborn? — Constantino, Jul 30 '15 at 20:13
seaborn is just using the matplotlib histogram function, but I think that probably uses numpy behind the scenes (or anyway numpy will give the same answer). — mwaskom, Jul 30 '15 at 21:03

For completeness, numpy.histogram is what I was looking for!

Could you elaborate on how exactly you got the number of bins from numpy.histogram? – Plasma Mar 22 '16 at 10:58

@Plasma, just use np.histogram(data)? Gives you two vectors – PlagTag May 03 '17 at 16:18
