+
+/// Add a violin plot
+///
+/// A violin plot is a chart that can be used to compare the distribution of continuous
+/// data between categories.
+///
+/// - data (array): Array of data items. An item is an array containing an `x` and one 
+///                 or more `y` values.
+/// - x-key (int, string): Key to use for retreiving the `x` position of the violin.
+/// - y-key (int, string): Key to use for retreiving values of points within the category.
+/// - side (string): The sides of the violin to be rendered:
+///   / left: Plot only the left side of the violin.
+///   / right: Plot only the right side of the violin.
+///   / both: Plot both sides of the violin.
+/// - kernel (function): The kernel density estimator function, which takes a single
+///                      `x` value relative to the center of a distribution (0) and
+///                      normalized by the bandwidth
+/// - bandwidth (float): The smoothing parameter of the kernel.
+/// - extents (float): The extension of the domain, expressed as a fraction of spread.
+/// - samples (int): The number of samples of the kernel to render.
+/// - style (dictionary): Style override dictionary.
+/// - mark-style (dictionary): (unused, will eventually be used to render interquartile ranges).
+/// - axes (axes): (unstable, documentation to follow once completed).
+/// - label (none, content): The name of the category to be shown in the legend.
