Stacked Violin Plot

Stacked violin plots can be used to summarize multiple features expression in one image.

Start by adding a 2D scatter plot to the Data viewer (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Add 2D Scatter plot

Select the data node from the pipeline to use (e.g. normalized counts) then choose the attribute of interest for the X-axis (e.g. cell type or sample name) and select Numeric list for the Y-axis (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Choose an attribute for the X-axis and Numeric list for the Y-axis

Navigate to the left panel and open the Axes Configure option. Add the features (e.g. genes) to include on the Y-axis by typing the name and selecting the feature (Figure 3). These can be ordered by drag and drop within the box which is reflected on the visualization.

Use the Show advanced options to modify additional axes parameters on the visualization.

Navigate to the left panel and open the Style Configure option. Use the Summary options to toggle on and off the Violin and other visual preferences (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Use Style to modify Summary options like Overlay Violins

Use the Show advanced options to toggle the points (dots) on and off.
