|
data |
a data frame |
x |
variable to be drawn. |
y |
one of "..density.." or "..count..". |
combine |
logical value. Default is FALSE. Used only when y is a vector containing multiple variables to plot. If TRUE, create a multi-panel plot by combining the plot of y variables. |
merge |
logical or character value. Default is FALSE. Used only when y is a vector containing multiple variables to plot. If TRUE, merge multiple y variables in the same plotting area. Allowed values include also "asis" (TRUE) and "flip". If merge = "flip", then y variables are used as x tick labels and the x variable is used as grouping variable. |
color, fill |
histogram line color and fill color. |
palette |
the color palette to be used for coloring or filling by groups. Allowed values include "grey" for grey color palettes; brewer palettes e.g. "RdBu", "Blues", ...; or custom color palette e.g. c("blue", "red"); and scientific journal palettes from ggsci R package, e.g.: "npg", "aaas", "lancet", "jco", "ucscgb", "uchicago", "simpsons" and "rickandmorty". |
size |
Numeric value (e.g.: size = 1). change the size of points and outlines. |
linetype |
line type. See |
alpha |
numeric value specifying fill color transparency. Value should be in [0, 1], where 0 is full transparency and 1 is no transparency. |
bins |
Number of bins. Defaults to 30. |
binwidth |
numeric value specifying bin width. use value between 0 and 1 when you have a strong dense dotplot. For example binwidth = 0.2. http://r4ds.had.co.nz/eda.html). |
title |
plot main title. |
xlab |
character vector specifying x axis labels. Use xlab = FALSE to hide xlab. |
ylab |
character vector specifying y axis labels. Use ylab = FALSE to hide ylab. |
facet.by |
character vector, of length 1 or 2, specifying grouping variables for faceting the plot into multiple panels. Should be in the data. |
panel.labs |
a list of one or two character vectors to modify facet panel labels. For example, panel.labs = list(sex = c("Male", "Female")) specifies the labels for the "sex" variable. For two grouping variables, you can use for example panel.labs = list(sex = c("Male", "Female"), rx = c("Obs", "Lev", "Lev2") ). |
short.panel.labs |
logical value. Default is TRUE. If TRUE, create short labels for panels by omitting variable names; in other words panels will be labelled only by variable grouping levels. |
add |
allowed values are one of "mean" or "median" (for adding mean or median line, respectively). |
add.params |
parameters (color, size, linetype) for the argument 'add'; e.g.: add.params = list(color = "red"). |
rug |
logical value. If TRUE, add marginal rug. |
add_density |
logical value. If TRUE, add density curves. |
label |
the name of the column containing point labels. Can be also a character vector with length = nrow(data). |
font.label |
a list which can contain the combination of the following elements: the size (e.g.: 14), the style (e.g.: "plain", "bold", "italic", "bold.italic") and the color (e.g.: "red") of labels. For example font.label = list(size = 14, face = "bold", color ="red"). To specify only the size and the style, use font.label = list(size = 14, face = "plain"). |
label.select |
can be of two formats:
|
repel |
a logical value, whether to use ggrepel to avoid overplotting text labels or not. |
label.rectangle |
logical value. If TRUE, add rectangle underneath the text, making it easier to read. |
ggtheme |
function, ggplot2 theme name. Default value is theme_pubr(). Allowed values include ggplot2 official themes: theme_gray(), theme_bw(), theme_minimal(), theme_classic(), theme_void(), .... |
... |
other arguments to be passed to
|
The plot can be easily customized using the function ggpar(). Read ?ggpar for changing:
main title and axis labels: main, xlab, ylab
axis limits: xlim, ylim (e.g.: ylim = c(0, 30))
axis scales: xscale, yscale (e.g.: yscale = "log2")
color palettes: palette = "Dark2" or palette = c("gray", "blue", "red")
legend title, labels and position: legend = "right"
plot orientation : orientation = c("vertical", "horizontal", "reverse")
