box_plot: Creaate box plots

In rvladimiro/ognd.plot: Quick one liner functions for pre-formatted ggplot2 plots

Description

Wrapper for ggplot() + geom_boxplot() visualisations

Usage

box_plot(measure, dimension, dataframe = NULL, alpha = 0.66, notch = T,
  title = NULL, measure_label = NULL, dimension_label = NULL,
  facet_formula = NULL)

Arguments

measure	The measure of interest. The continuous variable from which the box plots are drawn.
dimension	The dimension separates the several box plots of the visualisation. It also defines the color of each box plot.
dataframe	An optional dataframe. If a dataframe is provided, all variables (measure and dimension) must be columns of the dataframe.
alpha	The transparency of the fill of the box plots. Alpha does not affect the lines of the box plots.
notch	If true (default) notchs are added to the boxplots.
title	The title of the plot
measure_label	The measure (y axis) label. If not used, the name of the variable passed to the measure parameter is used.
dimension_label	The dimension (x axis) label. If not used, the name of the variable passed to the dimension parameter is used.
facet_formula	The formula to create facet grids on ggplot.

Details

This function allows the creation of box plots in one line. It handles color automatically, according to the dimension given. The box plot always needs a measure and a dimension.

Examples

# Set the seed
set.seed(1714)

# Create the variables
my_measure = rnorm(1000) + rep(c(0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.8), 200)
my_dimension = as.factor(rep(c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"), 200))
my_facet = as.factor(rep(c("One", "Another"), 500))
my_dataframe = data.frame(x = my_dimension, y = my_measure, f = my_facet)

# Test single vector
box_plot(measure = my_measure,
         dimension = my_dimension,
         title = "Simple box plot")

# Wait for key stroke
key_stroke = readline(prompt = 'Press Enter to continue...')

# Test dataframe and labels
box_plot(measure = y,
         dimension = x,
         dataframe = my_dataframe,
         title = "Dataframe, labels and facets",
         measure_label = "Values",
         dimension_label = "Dimensions",
         facet_formula = ~f)
