# 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 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);
|
|
```
