A few ways to visualize 1D distributions.
Swarm and pile plots show all the data points but can't be used when there are a lot of data points. Histograms and boxplots work for any number of data points since they are visualizing summary statistics. Histograms provide more information than a boxplot. Boxplots fit in small spaces, making them nice for comparing many distributions side-by-side.
