code pulling data from dataframe:  
plot\_vio = bar(  
categorical(analysis.type),  
analysis.val,  
group = categorical(string.(analysis.max\_val)),  
bar\_position= :dodge,  
bar\_width= 0.1,  
xlabel = “Type”,  
ylabel = “Val”,  
title = “Val by Type and max”,  
)

For each max val, there are multiple vals and a label of type
