violinplot_extras

violinplot_extras(self, *args, fillcolor=None, fillalpha=None, lw=None, linewidth=None, color=None, edgecolor=None, **kwargs)[source]

Adds convenient keyword arguments and changes the default violinplot style to match this matplotlib example. It is also no longer possible to show minima and maxima with whiskers – while this is useful for boxplots it is redundant for violinplots.

Important

This function wraps violinplot.

Parameters
  • *args (1D or 2D ndarray) – The data array.

  • vert (bool, optional) – If False, violin plots are drawn horizontally. Otherwise, violin plots are drawn vertically.

  • orientation ({{None, ‘vertical’, ‘horizontal’}}, optional) – Alternative to the native vert keyword arg. Added for consistency with the rest of matplotlib.

  • fillcolor (color-spec, list, optional) – The violin plot fill color. Default is the next color cycler color. If a list, it should be the same length as the number of objects.

  • fillalpha (float, optional) – The opacity of the violins. Default is 0.7. If a list, it should be the same length as the number of objects.

  • lw, linewidth (float, optional) – The linewidth of the line objects. Default is 0.8.

  • color, edgecolor (color-spec, list, optional) – The edge color for the violin patches. Default is 'black'. If a list, it should be the same length as the number of objects.

Other Parameters

**kwargs – Passed to violinplot.
