Categorical Heatmap

See original GitHub issue

Make it possible to pass a categorical heatmap to sns.heatmap.

I was able to plot a categorical heatmap with a little work, see my StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36227475/heatmap-like-plot-but-for-categorical-variables-in-seaborn.

It seems a little complex though for what I think is a pretty common use case of sns.heatmap. If you could give some pointers, I’m happy to take a stab at this.

Also, thanks so much for your work on seaborn, it’s awesome.

Seems like someone took this to heart: https://github.com/schlegelp/catheat In any case, it would also make perfect sense to have it within the seaborn library, as there is even a specific doc chapter on categorical data.

I know I know - I could also do it… when I find the time 😉

Because the PR was incomplete and it’s my prerogative what I merge into the software that I provide support for.
