+# Violin Plots for Matlab
+
+A violin plot is an easy to read substitute for a box plot that
+replaces the box shape with a kernel density estimate of the data, and
+optionally overlays the data points itself. The original boxplot shape
+is still included as a grey box/line in the center of the violin.
+
+Violin plots are a superset of box plots, and give a much richer
+understanding of the data distribution, while not taking more space.
+You will be able to instantly spot too-sparse data, or multi-modal
+distributions, which could go unnoticed in boxplots.
+
+`violinplot` is meant as a direct substitute for `boxplot` (excluding
+named arguments). Additional constructor parameters include the width
+of the plot, the bandwidth of the kernel density estimation, and the
+X-axis position of the violin plot.
+
+For more information about violin plots, read "[Violin plots: a box
+plot-density trace synergism](http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~rnugent/PCMI2016/papers/ViolinPlots.pdf)"

+52, no. 2, pp. 181-184, 1998 (DOI: 10.2307/2685478).
+
+For a simple call:
+
+```matlab
+load carbig MPG Origin
+Origin = cellstr(Origin);
+figure
+vs = violinplot(MPG, Origin);
+ylabel('Fuel Economy in MPG');
+xlim([0.5, 7.5]);
+```

+
+
+You can also play around with the different options, and tune your violin plots to your liking.
+
+```matlab
+grouporder={'England','Sweden','Japan','Italy','Germany','France','USA'};
+vs = Violin({MPG(strcmp(Origin, grouporder{pos}))},...
+    position,...
+    'HalfViolin','right',...% left, full
+    'QuartileStyle','shadow',... % boxplot, none
+    'DataStyle', 'histogram',... % scatter, none
+    'ShowNotches', false,...
+    'ShowMean', false,...
+    'ShowMedian', true,...
+    'ViolinColor', color);
+```
