seaborn components used: set_theme(), load_dataset(), boxplot(), stripplot(), despine()

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

sns.set_theme(style="ticks")

# Initialize the figure with a logarithmic x axis
f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(7, 6))
ax.set_xscale("log")

# Load the example planets dataset
planets = sns.load_dataset("planets")

# Plot the orbital period with horizontal boxes
sns.boxplot(
    planets, x="distance", y="method", hue="method",
    whis=[0, 100], width=.6, palette="vlag"
)

# Add in points to show each observation
sns.stripplot(planets, x="distance", y="method", size=4, color=".3")

# Tweak the visual presentation
ax.xaxis.grid(True)
ax.set(ylabel="")
sns.despine(trim=True, left=True)
