horizontal violin plots?

I am trying to make horizontal violin plots. I have tried both vioplot
and simple.violinplot, but both of them seem to not be willing to take
the horizontal option. Is this correct, or am I just bungling it
somehow?

For instance, for vioplot (from the example shown, with the horizontal
modification):
Error in median(data) : need numeric data

Hello Karin,

the vioplot package only contains one function : vioplot of about only 
150 lines.
It won't be hard to look at that code and add an argument horizontal 
yourself. You just have to replace x by y and vice versa in all the 
lines, rect, ... calls. Maybe you can contribute it afterwards.

One possibility is to use lattice instead, see e.g.

library(lattice)
example(panel.violin)
