Among the many ways to describe a data set, one is density plot or violin plot of the data. This is similar to a box plot but shows the actual distribution. Median and 25th and 75th percentile lines are added to the display. If a grouping variable is specified, densityBy will draw violin plots for each variable and for each group.

x |
A matrix or data.frame |
grp |
A grouping variable |
grp.name |
If the grouping variable is specified, the what names should be give to the group? Defaults to 1:ngrp |
ylab |
The y label |
xlab |
The x label |
main |
Figure title |
density |
How many lines per inch to draw |
restrict |
Restrict the density to the observed max and min of the data |
xlim |
if not specified, will be .5 beyond the number of variables |
add |
Allows overplotting |
col |
Allows for specification of colours. The default for 2 groups is blue and red, for more group levels, rainbows. |
pch |
The plot character for the mean is by default a small filled circle. To not show the mean, use pch=NA |
scale |
If NULL, scale the widths by the square root of sample size, otherwise scale by the value supplied. |

Other graphic parameters |
Describe the data using a violin plot. Change density to modify the shading. density=NULL will fill with col. The grp variable may be used to draw separate violin plots for each of multiple groups.
The density plot of the data.
