Violin Plot

Signature

sp.violin(title, labels=None, values=None, *, variant="box", **kwargs) -> Chart

Description

sp.violin() is the unified entry point for the entire violin-plot family. The variant keyword selects the rendering strategy — every other argument stays consistent across variants. The kernel-density estimation, quartiles and statistics are computed in pure Rust, no NumPy or pandas required.
