Re: [matplotlib-devel] Problem with violinplot

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

The KDE computation code is a copy of the KDE code from scipy (
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/master/scipy/stats/kde.py),  I suggest
raising this issue on their mailing list/github.

I strongly suspect that violin plot should be doing data sanitation on the
way in or catching exceptions like this, but I am not familiar enough with
the math to be sure what it should do instead.
