If I create a barplot using Seaborn and specify the geometric mean or the median as the estimator, does Seaborn know to use the appropriate standard error formula to create error bars?

3$\begingroup$ Seaborn uses bootstrapped confidence intervals. Alternative estimators are currently not supported. $\endgroup$– EmreMar 1, 2016 at 18:26

This information is in the documentation of Seaborn.
They show a bootstrap confidence interval, computed by resampling units (rows in the 2d array input form). By default, in seaborn version 0.8.1 it uses 95% of confidence interval, which is equivalent to a standard error. This value is a parameter that can be changed.
