Authors	Abstract
Bart Jablonski	Rain cloud plots are very popular and practical tools for data visualization. They enable the display of several components in one figure, including: kernel density estimates, data points, and box-and-whisker plots. This method facilitates the comparison of variable distribution across different categories. During this presentation, a macro called %RainCloudPlot() will be introduced and its capabilities for creating rain cloud plots will be presented. Sample code will accompany all examples.
