Function wraps around ggplot2 geom_boxplot to create a box plot.

Description

Function creates a ggplot2 based box plot with optional scaling, ordering and outlier viewing.

Arguments

df

The target data frame for the density chart.

aes_x

An optional factor variable name from df that sets the x axis variable. Multiple box plots will be displayed along the x axis if this argument is set.

aes_y

A required variable name from df that sets the y axis variable.

aes_color

Sets the variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for color.

aes_fill

Sets the variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for fill.

aes_label

Sets the variable name from df whose value will to be displayed corresponding to the aes_y outliers.

aes_label_color

A string that sets the color of outlier labels.

title

A string that sets the overall title.

subtitle

A string that sets the overall subtitle

caption

A string that sets the plot caption

center_titles

A logical which if TRUE centers both the title and subtitle.

x_title

A string that sets the x axis title. If NULL (the default) then the x axis title does not appear.

y_title

A string that sets the y axis title. If NULL (the default) then the y axis title does not appear.

hide_x_tics

A logical that controls the appearance of the x axis tics.

hide_y_tics

A logical that controls the appearance of the y axis tics.

rot_x_tic_angle

A numeric that sets the angle of rotation for the x tic labels. When x tic labels are long, a value of 40 for this argument usually works well.

rot_y_tic_label

A logical which if TRUE rotates the y tic labels 90 degrees for enhanced readability.

box_fill

A string that sets the fill color attribute for the box plot.

box_color

A string that sets the color attribute for the box plot.

box_line_width

A numeric that sets the size attribute of the box line width.

box_alpha

A numeric that set the alpha component attribute to box_color.

y_limits

A numeric 2 element vector that sets the minimum and maximum for the y axis. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum and maximum.

y_major_breaks

A numeric vector or function that defines the exact major tic locations along the y axis.

y_minor_breaks

A numeric vector or function that defines the exact minor tic locations along the y axis.

y_labels

A character vector with the same length as y_major_breaks, that labels the major tics.

y_decimals

A numeric that sets the number of decimal places for y-tic labels.

y_scientific

A logical which if TRUE will put the y-tic labels in scientific notation.

axis_text_size

A numeric that sets the font size along the axis'. Default is 11.

do_coord_flip

A logical which if TRUE will flip the x and y axis'.

show_legend

A logical that controls the appearance of the legend.

panel_color

A string in hexidecimal or color name that sets the plot panel's color. The default is "white".

panel_border_color

A string in hexidecimal or color name that sets the plot panel's border color. The default is "black".

legend_pos

A string that sets the legend position. Acceptable values are "top", "bottom", "left", "right".

legend_key_width

A numeric that sets the legend width in cm.

legend_key_height

A numeric that sets the legend height in cm.

legend_key_backgrd

A string that sets the legend's background color. The default is "white".

show_major_grids

A logical that controls the appearance of major grids.

show_minor_grids

A logical that controls the appearance of minor grids.

ol_color

A string that sets the outlier color.

ol_fill

A string that sets the outlier fill.

ol_size

A numeric that set the outlier size.

ol_shape

A string that set the outlier shape.

ol_stroke

A numeric that sets the outlier shape line width.

ol_alpha

A numeric that sets the outlier alpha for color.

order_by_median

A string which will order the plot of aes_x factor levels/categories by the aes_y medians. Acceptable values are "asc" or "desc". Note that the optional argument aes_x must not be NULL.

silent_NA_warning

A logical that controls the appearance of a console warning when Na's are removed.

png_file_path

A character string with the directory and file name to produce a png image of the plot.

png_width_height

A numeric vector that sets the width and height of the png image in pixels. The default is c(480,480). There are 37.8 pixels in a centimeter.

Value

A plot object.
