title: How to create a "dot plot" in Matplotlib? (not a scatter plot)
body: <p>I'd like to create what my statistics book calls a "dot plot" where the number of dots in the plot equals the number of observations. Here's an example from <a href="https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/dot-plots.html" rel="noreferrer">mathisfun.com</a>:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fOFsW.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fOFsW.png" alt="example dot plot"></a></p>
  
  <p>In the example, there are six dots above the <code>0</code> value on the X-axis representing the six observations of the value zero.</p>
  
  <p>It seems that a "dot plot" can have several variations. In looking up how to create this with Matplotlib, I only came across what I know of as a scatter plot with a data point representing the relationship between the X and Y value.</p>
  
  <p>Is the type of plot I'm trying to create possible with Matplotlib?</p>
