Seaborn lineplot without lines between points

How can I use the lineplot plotting function in seaborn to create a plot with no lines connecting between the points. I know the function is called lineplot, but it has the useful feature of merging all datapoints with the same x value and plotting a single mean and confidence interval.

tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.lineplot(x='size', y='total_bill', data=tips, marker='o', err_style='bars')

lineplot

How do I plot without the line? I'm not sure of a better way to phrase my question. How can I plot points only? Lineless lineplot?

I know that seaborn has a pointplot function, but that is for categorical data. In some cases, my x-values are continuous values, so pointplot would not work.

I realize one could get into the matplotlib figure artists and delete the line, but that gets more complicated as the amount of stuff on the plot increases. I was wondering if there are some sort of arguments that can be passed to the lineplot function.

To get error bars without the connecting lines, you can set the linestyle parameter to '':

import seaborn as sns

tips = sns.load_dataset('tips')
sns.lineplot(x='size', y='total_bill', data=tips, marker='o', linestyle='', err_style='bars')

no line

Other types of linestyle could also be interesting, for example "a loosely dotted line": sns.lineplot(..., linestyle=(0, (1, 10)))

loosely dotted
