ggplot2-flatviolin: Flat violin plot

In wikimedia/wikimedia-discovery-wmf: R Tools For Wikimedia Foundation's Analysts And Data Scientists

Description

Violin plots are a compact display of continuous distributions but are usually mirrored to mimick boxplots. The "flat" version removes that mirrorness and makes the violin plots less...suggestive.

Usage

geom_flat_violin(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "ydensity",
  position = "dodge",
  trim = TRUE,
  scale = "area",
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes() or aes_(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.
data	The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot(). A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify() for which variables will be created. A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame, and will be used as the layer data. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)).
position	Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
trim	If TRUE (default), trim the tails of the violins to the range of the data. If FALSE, don't trim the tails.
show.legend	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.
inherit.aes	If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders().
...	Other arguments passed on to layer(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like colour = "red" or size = 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.
geom, stat	Use to override the default connection between geom_violin and stat_ydensity.
