patternboxplot: Plot a boxplot using patterns and colors to fill the boxes.

In patternplot: Versatile Pie Charts, Ring Charts, Bar Charts and Box Plots using Patterns, Colors and Images

Description

The patternboxplot function is a tool for creating versatile boxplots by filling the boxplots with colors and patterns.

Usage

patternboxplot(
  data,
  x,
  y,
  group = NULL,
  xlab = "",
  ylab = "",
  label.size = 3.5,
  linetype = rep("solid", ifelse(is.null(group), length(unique(x)),
    length(unique(group)))),
  outlier.shape = 21,
  outlier.color = "black",
  outlier.size = 1,
  pattern.type,
  pattern.color = rep("black", ifelse(is.null(group), length(unique(x)),
    length(unique(group)))),
  pattern.line.size = rep(5, ifelse(is.null(group), length(x), length(unique(group)))),
  background.color = rep("white", ifelse(is.null(group), length(unique(x)),
    length(unique(group)))),
  frame.color = rep("black", ifelse(is.null(group), length(unique(x)),
    length(unique(group)))),
  frame.size = 1,
  pixel = 20,
  density = rep(7, ifelse(is.null(group), length(unique(x)), length(unique(group)))),
  legend.type = "h",
  legend.h = 6,
  legend.x.pos = 1.1,
  legend.y.pos = 0.49,
  legend.w = 0.2,
  legend.pixel = 20,
  legend.label
)

Arguments

data	the data to be used.
x	the variable used on x axis.
y	the variable used on y axis.
group	the variable used as the second grouping variable on x axis.
xlab	a character string to give x axis label.
ylab	a character string to give y axis label.
label.size	the font size of legend labels shown above the boxplots.
linetype	the linetype for the borders of boxplots.
outlier.shape	the shape of outlier dots.
outlier.color	the color of outlier dots.
outlier.size	the size of outlier dots.
pattern.type	a vector of patterns to be filled in the boxes The pattern types include: 'blank', 'bricks', 'vdashes', 'hdashes', 'crosshatch','dots', 'grid','hlines','nelines', 'nwlines', 'vlines', 'waves' and more.
pattern.color	a vector of colors for the lines/dots of patterns.
pattern.line.size	a vector of numeric values, the line size for the lines/dots of patterns.
background.color	a vector of colors to be filled in the boxes.
frame.color	the color for the borders of boxes.
frame.size	a numeric value, the line size for the borders of boxes.
pixel	a numeric value, the pixel resolution of boxplot.
density	a numeric vector, the density for the lines/dots of patterns.
legend.type	if legend.type='h', the layout of legends is horizontal; if legend.type='v', the layout of legends is vertical.
legend.h	a numeric value to change the height of legend boxes.
legend.x.pos	a numeric value to change the position of legends on x axis.
legend.y.pos	a numeric value to change the position of legends on y axis.
legend.w	a numeric value to change the width of legends.
legend.pixel	a numeric value to change pixel of legends.
legend.label	a vector to name legend labels.
