title: Python Violin Plots
body: <p>How can I do violin plots like you can in R using <code>ggplot2</code>? In <code>ggplot2</code> you can create nice violin plots like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ggplot(dat,aes(value,prob)) + 
  geom_violin() + 
  geom_jitter(alpha=0.1) + 
  scale_y_log10() +
  labs(x="test values", y="prob")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and you can obtain nice plots like this: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3BEYt.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>How can I do the same in Python? I've looked at <code>matplotlib.pyplot.violinplot</code> but was not able to get anything similar to this. </p>
