Description

First of all congratulations for the awesome package, intuitive and works great. Just a suggestion if you have time to implement ridgeplots or joyplots like the ones available now in Seurat. They are useful to present several distributions in a compact (and attractive) way. Seems possible through the seaborn kdeplot functions (https://seaborn.pydata.org/examples/kde_joyplot.html). Just a suggestion, so feel free to close to issue at any point!

Research direction

Begin by reviewing Scanpy's existing plotting entry points, then compare the requested ridgeplot or joyplot behavior with the Seurat examples and seaborn's kdeplot joyplot example. The issue does not name files, tests, or a precise API, so the scope and completion criteria need to be defined before implementation.
