Color gradient along horizontal axis rather than the vertical axis

[flehner]

It seems joypy was used to create this prominent figure copied below: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1536/cpsprodpb/1216F/production/_132259047_global_temp_delta_1991_2020avg_multiple_ridges_v2-2x-nc.png.webp

In it, the colormap gradient runs along the horizontal axis of each individual filled KDE plot, rather than along the vertical axis which is what happens by default when you pass a colormap into joyplot. How can you achieve this with joypy.joyplot?

this library uses matplotlib's fill_between, I guess we would have to switch to imshow, or draw an unreasonable amount of fill_between and cycle through a colormap

wonder route BBC took? :)

I realized since that it's also possible that they used R's ggridges, in which it's easy to implement such horizontal color gradients.

In all honesty I don't think they used joypy :-)

Is there any updates ? Can we achieve horizontal gradient colors ? Its super important. Thanks!

I admit I did not pursue this further since I found the R solution mentioned above.
