    % Violin creates violin plots for some data
    %   A violin plot is an easy to read substitute for a box plot
    %   that replaces the box shape with a kernel density estimate of
    %   the data, and optionally overlays the data points itself.
    %
    %   Additional constructor parameters include the width of the
    %   plot, the bandwidth of the kernel density estimation, and the
    %   X-axis position of the violin plot.
    %
    %   Use <a href="matlab:help('violinplot')">violinplot</a> for a
    %   <a href="matlab:help('boxplot')">boxplot</a>-like wrapper for
    %   interactive plotting.
