Create a boxplot of the alpha-diversity. Function from the phylosmith-package.

Description

Inputs a phyloseq-class object and creates boxplot of the alpha diversity as a ggplot object.

Usage

alpha_diversity_graph(phyloseq_obj, treatment = NULL, subset = NULL,
index = "shannon", colors = "default")

Arguments

phyloseq_obj	A phyloseq-class object. It must contain sample_data()) with information about each sample, and it must contain tax_table()) with information about each taxa/gene.
treatment	Column name as a string or number in the sample_data. This can be a vector of multiple columns and they will be combined into a new column.
subset	A factor within the treatment. This will remove any samples that to not contain this factor. This can be a vector of multiple factors to subset on.
index	The diversity index to calculate ("shannon", "simpson", "invsimpson")
colors	Name of a color set from the RColorBrewer package or a vector palette of R-accepted colors.
