Description
One of my favorite types of plots to show distributions is to use Sina plots where the points are spread out within the area of the violin representing the density of the distribution. I then additionally overlay this with a boxplot as is already possible in plotly. So my questions/feature requests are then:
- Can the points of a violin plot be shown inside of the violin rather than next to it?
- Is it possible to have the points be spread out to the width of the violin as in the Sina plots?
Thank you for your consideration.

Research direction
Start by comparing the linked Plotly Python violin example with the linked ggforce geom_sina examples. Determine the scope of supporting points inside the violin and spreading them to its width, including compatibility with an overlaid boxplot; the issue names no repository files or tests, so completion criteria will need to be established first.
