# Visualizing 2D data when one dimension is discrete and the other continuous

I have some (synthetic) stochastic data generated from a model with two parameters (e.g., I'm generating many numbers from a negative binomial distribution with parameters $$n$$ and $$p$$ --- that's close enough to what I'm doing). One parameter is continuous (non-negative reals) and the other takes positive integer values.

I calculate the probability density for the original parameters based on the observed data with standard techniques.

Then I want to visualize this density. At present I'm using contour plots. I don't like them because they suggest that both directions are continuous. In the plots I show, the horizontal axis takes just the discrete values 1, ..., 10. (ignore the dashed and dotted lines and focus on the contour lines). The contour lines seem to allow for values between these discrete values.

Is there a better way I can visualize this data? (bonus if you can say how to visualize them in Python, but I can probably figure that out myself).
