Scatterplot with density curves gone?

Using 2.6.45, I can plot scatterplots that provide the option to have density plots on the axes (opposite the proper/main XY axes), or box plots. Upgrading to 2.7.12, this seems to be gone. I tried several different modules, none seem to offer it. Am I missing something, has it been removed or just not yet added due to updating the app or a module?

Figure attached to show what I'm talking about.

Best,
Rick

hi rick,

yes, unfortunately we did deprecate the density plots on the axes. its pretty rare that we remove functionality, but this is one instance of it.

Thanks for clarifying. A shame, I really like the visual 'density' of info in the figures with that included. You could argue that the individual plots/dots can be interpreted to capture what the entity plots show (which I suspect was part of the reasoning why they could be dropped) But they looked so cool.

Do you happen to know of any module that still provides them?
