It’s pretty good! With

```julia
data(df) * mapping(:species, :bill_length_mm; color=:sex => nonnumeric) *
                       visual(RainClouds) |> draw

```

I get

 ![rainclouds](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/c/3/c3741305a8c5b688e51745c3ce20d9ef746dc090.png)  
and to get just jittered points,

```julia
data(df) * mapping(:species, :bill_length_mm; color=:sex => nonnumeric) *
                       visual(RainClouds; clouds=nothing, plot_boxplots=false) |> draw

```

Can also do `clouds=hist`:

```julia
data(df) * mapping(:species, :bill_length_mm; color=:sex => nonnumeric) *
                       visual(RainClouds; clouds=hist, plot_boxplots=false) |> draw

```
