box.plot

Description

A function for creating harmonized ggplot2 boxplots

Usage

box.plot(
  parent.df,
  y.col = "AGE",
  y.label = "AGE",
  category.col = "TRTGRP",
  category.label = "Treatment Group",
  y.limits = NULL,
  y.ticks = NULL,
  y.digits = 0,
  shape.palette = c(21, 22),
  category.palette = c(2, 3),
  text.size = 4
)

Arguments

parent.df	data.frame used by ggplot
y.col	parent.df column associated with response vairable
y.label	value gets passed to labs
category.col	data.frame column associated with categorical variable (bar.plot, box.plot, cdf.plot, dot.plot, km.plot)
category.label	passed to x-axis label
y.limits	passed to scale_y_continuous
y.ticks	passed to scale_y_continuous
y.digits	passed to scale_y_continuous label's, fmt (box.plot, line.plot)
shape.palette	values passed to scale_shape_manual
category.palette	colors assoicated with categorical variable
text.size	value gets passed to geom_text

Value

A ggplot object is returned.

Examples

{
data(demog.data)
# pre-processing

levels(demog.data$SEX) <- c("Female", "Male")

 p1 <- box.plot(parent.df = demog.data, 
     y.col = "BMI", 
     y.label = expression(paste("BMI (m/kg",phantom()^2,")")), 
     category.col = "SEX",
     category.label = "Gender", 
      y.limits = c(0, 70), 
      y.ticks = seq(0, 100, 10), 
      y.digits = 0,
      shape.palette = c(20, 20),
      category.palette = rainbow(6),
      text.size = 4)
 print(p1)
}
