Violin Plot

Mirrored curves that show the full shape of a distribution.

The idea

A violin plot mirrors a density curve around a centre line, so the width at each height shows how many values sit there. It reveals what a box plot hides, such as two peaks. Beeswarms and swarms show every single point instead.

Where to use it

  • Comparing the spread of a measure between groups
  • Spotting two peaks in a distribution
  • Every data point in a swarm
  • Scores, times or prices by category
