Violin Chart Node

The Violin Chart Node visualizes the distribution of a dataset across one or more categories, combining features of a box plot and a density plot.

Overview​

This node requires the user to select a category column (X axis) and a value column (Y axis). Each violin represents the distribution of values for a category.

Key Features​

  • Distribution visualization: Displays the density and spread of data.
  • Category comparison: Compare distributions across multiple categories.
  • Customizable orientation: Supports horizontal or vertical layouts.
  • Dashboard ready: Integrates with dashboards for interactive exploration.

Required Data​

  • xColumn: The category column.
  • yColumn: The value column.
  • splitColumn (optional): For splitting violins by subcategories.
  • log, vertical, bandwidth, scale: Additional display options.

How it works​

  1. Add the Violin Chart Node to your workflow.
  2. Connect your dataset.
  3. Select the category and value columns.
  4. Configure display options as needed.
  5. The node renders a violin chart.

Use Cases​

  • Exam scores distribution: Visualize the spread of scores across different classes.
  • Customer age analysis: Compare age distributions across customer segments.
  • Sensor data: Analyze the distribution of readings across different devices.

Benefits​

  • Detailed distribution insights for categorical data.
  • Flexible configuration for splitting and scaling violins.
  • Handles large datasets efficiently.
