Help on function create_violin in module plotly.figure_factory._violin:

create_violin(data, data_header=None, group_header=None, colors=None, use_colorscale=False, group_stats=None, rugplot=True, sort=False, height=450, width=600, title='Violin and Rug Plot')
    Returns figure for a violin plot
    
    :param (list|array) data: accepts either a list of numerical values,
        a list of dictionaries all with identical keys and at least one
        column of numeric values, or a pandas dataframe with at least one
        column of numbers.
    :param (str) data_header: the header of the data column to be used
        from an inputted pandas dataframe. Not applicable if 'data' is
        a list of numeric values.
    :param (str) group_header: applicable if grouping data by a variable.
        'group_header' must be set to the name of the grouping variable.
    :param (str|tuple|list|dict) colors: either a plotly scale name,
        an rgb or hex color, a color tuple, a list of colors or a
        dictionary. An rgb color is of the form 'rgb(x, y, z)' where
        x, y and z belong to the interval [0, 255] and a color tuple is a
        tuple of the form (a, b, c) where a, b and c belong to [0, 1].
        If colors is a list, it must contain valid color types as its
        members.
    :param (bool) use_colorscale: only applicable if grouping by another
        variable. Will implement a colorscale based on the first 2 colors
        of param colors. This means colors must be a list with at least 2
        colors in it (Plotly colorscales are accepted since they map to a
        list of two rgb colors). Default = False
    :param (dict) group_stats: a dictioanry where each key is a unique
        value from the group_header column in data. Each value must be a
        number and will be used to color the violin plots if a colorscale
        is being used.
    :param (bool) rugplot: determines if a rugplot is draw on violin plot.
        Default = True
    :param (bool) sort: determines if violins are sorted
        alphabetically (True) or by input order (False). Default = False
    :param (float) height: the height of the violin plot.
    :param (float) width: the width of the violin plot.
    :param (str) title: the title of the violin plot.
    
    Example 1: Single Violin Plot
    ```
    import plotly.plotly as py
    from plotly.figure_factory import create_violin
    from plotly.graph_objs import graph_objs
    
    import numpy as np
    from scipy import stats
    
    # create list of random values
    data_list = np.random.randn(100)
    data_list.tolist()
    
    # create violin fig
    fig = create_violin(data_list, colors='#604d9e')
    
    # plot
    py.iplot(fig, filename='Violin Plot')
    ```
    
    Example 2: Multiple Violin Plots with Qualitative Coloring
    ```
    import plotly.plotly as py
    from plotly.figure_factory import create_violin
    from plotly.graph_objs import graph_objs
    
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    from scipy import stats
    
    # create dataframe
    np.random.seed(619517)
    Nr=250
    y = np.random.randn(Nr)
    gr = np.random.choice(list("ABCDE"), Nr)
    norm_params=[(0, 1.2), (0.7, 1), (-0.5, 1.4), (0.3, 1), (0.8, 0.9)]
    
    for i, letter in enumerate("ABCDE"):
        y[gr == letter] *=norm_params[i][1]+ norm_params[i][0]
    df = pd.DataFrame(dict(Score=y, Group=gr))
    
    # create violin fig
    fig = create_violin(df, data_header='Score', group_header='Group',
                        sort=True, height=600, width=1000)
    
    # plot
    py.iplot(fig, filename='Violin Plot with Coloring')
    ```
    
    Example 3: Violin Plots with Colorscale
    ```
    import plotly.plotly as py
    from plotly.figure_factory import create_violin
    from plotly.graph_objs import graph_objs
    
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    from scipy import stats
    
    # create dataframe
    np.random.seed(619517)
    Nr=250
    y = np.random.randn(Nr)
    gr = np.random.choice(list("ABCDE"), Nr)
    norm_params=[(0, 1.2), (0.7, 1), (-0.5, 1.4), (0.3, 1), (0.8, 0.9)]
    
    for i, letter in enumerate("ABCDE"):
        y[gr == letter] *=norm_params[i][1]+ norm_params[i][0]
    df = pd.DataFrame(dict(Score=y, Group=gr))
    
    # define header params
    data_header = 'Score'
    group_header = 'Group'
    
    # make groupby object with pandas
    group_stats = {}
    groupby_data = df.groupby([group_header])
    
    for group in "ABCDE":
        data_from_group = groupby_data.get_group(group)[data_header]
        # take a stat of the grouped data
        stat = np.median(data_from_group)
        # add to dictionary
        group_stats[group] = stat
    
    # create violin fig
    fig = create_violin(df, data_header='Score', group_header='Group',
                        height=600, width=1000, use_colorscale=True,
                        group_stats=group_stats)
    
    # plot
    py.iplot(fig, filename='Violin Plot with Colorscale')
