Side boxplots

Description

The xside and yside variants of geom_boxplot is geom_xsideboxplot and geom_ysideboxplot.

Usage

geom_xsideboxplot(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "boxplot",
  position = "dodge2",
  ...,
  outliers = TRUE,
  outlier.colour = NULL,
  outlier.color = NULL,
  outlier.fill = NULL,
  outlier.shape = 19,
  outlier.size = 1.5,
  outlier.stroke = 0.5,
  outlier.alpha = NULL,
  notch = FALSE,
  notchwidth = 0.5,
  staplewidth = 0,
  varwidth = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  orientation = "x",
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

geom_ysideboxplot(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "boxplot",
  position = "dodge2",
  ...,
  outliers = TRUE,
  outlier.colour = NULL,
  outlier.color = NULL,
  outlier.fill = NULL,
  outlier.shape = 19,
  outlier.size = 1.5,
  outlier.stroke = 0.5,
  outlier.alpha = NULL,
  notch = FALSE,
  notchwidth = 0.5,
  staplewidth = 0,
  varwidth = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  orientation = "y",
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping

Set of aesthetic mappings created by 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)).

stat

The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, either as a ggproto Geom subclass or as a string naming the stat stripped of the stat_ prefix (e.g. "count" rather than "stat_count")

position

Position adjustment, either as a string naming the adjustment (e.g. "jitter" to use position_jitter), or the result of a call to a position adjustment function. Use the latter if you need to change the settings of the adjustment.

...

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.

outliers

Whether to display (TRUE) or discard (FALSE) outliers from the plot. Hiding or discarding outliers can be useful when, for example, raw data points need to be displayed on top of the boxplot. By discarding outliers, the axis limits will adapt to the box and whiskers only, not the full data range. If outliers need to be hidden and the axes needs to show the full data range, please use outlier.shape = NA instead.

outlier.colour, outlier.color, outlier.fill, outlier.shape, outlier.size, outlier.stroke, outlier.alpha

Default aesthetics for outliers. Set to NULL to inherit from the aesthetics used for the box.

In the unlikely event you specify both US and UK spellings of colour, the US spelling will take precedence.

notch

If FALSE (default) make a standard box plot. If TRUE, make a notched box plot. Notches are used to compare groups; if the notches of two boxes do not overlap, this suggests that the medians are significantly different.

notchwidth

For a notched box plot, width of the notch relative to the body (defaults to notchwidth = 0.5).

staplewidth

The relative width of staples to the width of the box. Staples mark the ends of the whiskers with a line.

varwidth

If FALSE (default) make a standard box plot. If TRUE, boxes are drawn with widths proportional to the square-roots of the number of observations in the groups (possibly weighted, using the weight aesthetic).

na.rm

If FALSE, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If TRUE, missing values are silently removed.

orientation

The orientation of the layer. The default (NA) automatically determines the orientation from the aesthetic mapping. In the rare event that this fails it can be given explicitly by setting orientation to either "x" or "y". See the Orientation section for more detail.

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().

Value

XLayer or YLayer object to be added to a ggplot object

Examples


df <- expand.grid(UpperCase = LETTERS, LowerCase = letters)
df$Combo_Index <- as.integer(df$UpperCase)*as.integer(df$LowerCase)

p1 <- ggplot(df, aes(UpperCase, LowerCase)) +
geom_tile(aes(fill = Combo_Index))

#sideboxplots

p1 + geom_xsideboxplot(aes(y = Combo_Index)) +
   geom_ysideboxplot(aes(x = Combo_Index)) +
   #when mixing continuous/discrete scales
   #use the following helper functions
   scale_xsidey_continuous() +
   scale_ysidex_continuous()

#sideboxplots with swapped orientation
#Note: They order of the layers are affects the default
# scale type. If you were to omit the last two scales, the
# data labels may be affected
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
    geom_xsideboxplot(aes(y = Species), orientation = "y") +
    geom_point() +
    scale_y_continuous() + scale_xsidey_discrete()

#If using the scale_(xsidey|ysidex)_* functions are a bit cumbersome,
# Take extra care to recast your data types.
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Width, Sepal.Length, color = Species))+
  geom_point() +
  geom_xsideboxplot(aes(y = as.numeric(Species)), orientation = "y") +
  geom_ysideboxplot(aes(x = as.numeric(Species)), orientation = "x")
