+### Swarm (or Beeswarm) Plots 
+
+Swarm plots show the distribution of values in a column by giving each entry one dot and adjusting the y-value so that dots do not overlap and appear symmetrically around the y=0 line. They complement [histograms](https://plotly.com/python/histograms/), [box plots](https://plotly.com/python/box-plots/), and [violin plots](https://plotly.com/python/violin/). This example could be generalized to implement a swarm plot for multiple categories by adjusting the y-coordinate for each category.

+    # the y coordinate of the first entry is 0, so entries 3, 5, and 7 get 
+    # negative y coordinates
+    if count % 2 == 1:

 ## Scatter and line plots with go.Scatter
 
 If Plotly Express does not provide a good starting point, it is possible to use [the more generic `go.Scatter` class from `plotly.graph_objects`](/python/graph-objects/). Whereas `plotly.express` has two functions `scatter` and `line`, `go.Scatter` can be used both for plotting points (makers) or lines, depending on the value of `mode`. The different options of `go.Scatter` are documented in its [reference page](https://plotly.com/python/reference/scatter/).
