Last week I posted some tips for reading violin plots, and this week I decided to play around with making some of my own! I use box plots pretty regularly, so I first tried remaking one of my own box plots as a violin plot instead.

Overall, the week was a great… Continue reading Maintain your Aspect Ratio!
