In elsayed-lab/hpgltools: A pile of (hopefully) useful R functions

Create a density plot, showing the distribution of each column of data.

Description

Density plots and boxplots are cousins and provide very similar views of data distributions. Some people like one, some the other. I think they are both colorful and fun!

Usage

plot_density(
  data,
  colors = NULL,
  expt_names = NULL,
  position = "identity",
  direct = NULL,
  fill = NULL,
  plot_title = NULL,
  scale = NULL,
  colors_by = "condition",
  label_chars = 10,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	Expt, expressionset, or data frame.
colors	Color scheme to use.
expt_names	Names of the samples.
position	How to place the lines, either let them overlap (identity), or stack them.
direct	Use direct.labels for labeling the plot?
fill	Fill the distributions? This might make the plot unreasonably colorful.
plot_title	Title for the plot.
scale	Plot on the log scale?
colors_by	Factor for coloring the lines
label_chars	Maximum number of characters in sample names before abbreviation.
...	sometimes extra arguments might come from graph_metrics()

Value

ggplot2 density plot!
