Description

A function for creating harmonized ggplot2 boxplots

Usage

box.plot(
  parent.df,
  y.col = "AGE",
  y.label = "AGE",
  category.col = "TRTGRP",
  category.label = "Treatment Group",
  y.limits = NULL,
  y.ticks = NULL,
  y.digits = 0,
  shape.palette = c(21, 22),
  category.palette = c(2, 3),
  text.size = 4
)

parent.df column associated with response vairable

y.label

value gets passed to labs

category.col

category.label

passed to x-axis label

y.limits

passed to scale_y_continuous

y.ticks

passed to scale_y_continuous

y.digits

passed to scale_y_continuous label's, fmt (box.plot, line.plot)

shape.palette

values passed to scale_shape_manual

category.palette

{
data(demog.data)
# pre-processing

levels(demog.data$SEX) <- c("Female", "Male")

 p1 <- box.plot(parent.df = demog.data, 
     y.col = "BMI", 
     y.label = expression(paste("BMI (m/kg",phantom()^2,")")), 
     category.col = "SEX",
     category.label = "Gender", 
      y.limits = c(0, 70), 
      y.ticks = seq(0, 100, 10), 
      y.digits = 0,
      shape.palette = c(20, 20),
      category.palette = rainbow(6),
      text.size = 4)
 print(p1)
