In vioplot: Violin Plot

histoplot

Description

Produce histogram plot(s) of the given (grouped) values with enhanced annotation and colour per group. Includes customisation of colours for each aspect of the histogram, boxplot, and separate histograms. This supports input of data as a list or formula, being backwards compatible with histoplot (0.2) and taking input in a formula as used for boxplot.

Interpreting the columns (or rows) of a matrix as different groups, draw a boxplot for each.

Arguments

x	a numeric matrix.
...	Further arguments to histoplot.
use.cols	logical indicating if columns (by default) or rows (use.cols = FALSE) should be plotted.
formula	a formula, such as y ~ grp, where y is a numeric vector of data values to be split into groups according to the grouping variable grp (usually a factor).
data	a data.frame (or list) from which the variables in formula should be taken.
subset	an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used for plotting.
na.action	a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. The default is to ignore missing values in either the response or the group.
add	logical. if FALSE (default) a new plot is created
horizontal	logical. To use horizontal or vertical histograms. Note that log scale can only be used on the x-axis for horizontal histograms, and on the y-axis otherwise.
side	defaults to "both". Assigning "left" or "right" enables one sided plotting of histograms. May be applied as a scalar across all groups.
names	one label, or a vector of labels for the data must match the number of data given
drop, sep, lex.order	defines groups to plot from formula, passed to split.default, see there.
breaks	the breaks for the density estimator, as explained in hist
xlim, ylim	numeric vectors of length 2, giving the x and y coordinates ranges.
col	Graphical parameter for fill colour of the histogram(s) polygon. NA for no fill colour. If col is a vector, it specifies the colour per histogram, and colours are reused if necessary.
border	Graphical parameters for the colour of the histogram border passed to lines. NA for no border. If border is a vector, it specifies the colour per histogram, and colours are reused if necessary.
lty, lwd	Graphical parameters for the histogram passed to lines and polygon
rectCol	Graphical parameters to control fill colour of the box. NA for no fill colour. If col is a vector, it specifies the colour per histogram, and colours are reused if necessary.
lineCol	Graphical parameters to control colour of the box outline and whiskers. NA for no border. If lineCol is a vector, it specifies the colour per histogram, and colours are reused if necessary.
pchMed	Graphical parameters to control shape of the median point. If pchMed is a vector, it specifies the shape per histogram.
colMed, colMed2	Graphical parameters to control colour of the median point. If colMed is a vector, it specifies the colour per histogram. colMed specifies the fill colour in all cases unless pchMed is 21:25 in which case colMed is the border colour and colMed2 is the fill colour.
at	position of each histogram. Default to 1:n
wex	relative expansion of the histogram. If wex is a vector, it specifies the area/width size per histogram and sizes are reused if necessary.
drawRect	logical. The box is drawn if TRUE.
areaEqual	logical. Density plots checked for equal area if TRUE. wex must be scalar, relative widths of histograms depend on area.
axes, frame.plot, panel.first, panel.last, asp, line, outer, adj, ann, ask, bg, bty, cin, col.axis, col.lab, col.main, col.sub, cra, crt, csi, cxy, din, err, family, fg, fig, fin, font, font.axis, font.lab, font.main, font.sub, lab, las, lend, lheight, ljoin, lmitre, mai, mar, mex, mfcol, mfg, mfrow, mgp, mkh, new, oma, omd, omi, page, pch, pin, plt, ps, pty, smo, srt, tck, tcl, usr, xaxp, xaxs, xaxt, xpd, yaxp, yaxs, ylbias	Arguments to be passed to methods, such as graphical parameters (see par)).
main, sub, xlab, ylab	graphical parameters passed to plot.
ylog, xlog	A logical value (see log in plot.default). If ylog is TRUE, a logarithmic scale is in use (e.g., after plot(*, log = "y")). For horizontal = TRUE then, if xlog is TRUE, a logarithmic scale is in use (e.g., after plot(*, log = "x")). For a new device, it defaults to FALSE, i.e., linear scale.
cex	A numerical value giving the amount by which plotting text should be magnified relative to the default.
cex.axis	The magnification to be used for y axis annotation relative to the current setting of cex.
cex.lab	The magnification to be used for x and y labels relative to the current setting of cex.
cex.main	The magnification to be used for main titles relative to the current setting of cex.
cex.names	The magnification to be used for x axis annotation relative to the current setting of cex. Takes the value of cex.axis if not given.
cex.sub	The magnification to be used for sub-titles relative to the current setting of cex.
yaxt	A character which specifies the y axis type. Specifying "n" suppresses plotting.
log	Logarithmic scale if log = "y" or TRUE. Invokes ylog = TRUE. If horizontal is TRUE then invokes xlog = TRUE.
logLab	Increments for labelling y-axis on log-scale, defaults to numbers starting with 1, 2, 5, and 10.
na.rm	logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds. Defaults to TRUE.
