normal_dist {stevemisc}

Make and annotate a normal distribution with ggplot2

Description

normal_dist() is a convenience function for making a plot of a normal distribution with annotated areas underneath the normal curve.

Usage

normal_dist(curvecolor, fillcolor, fontfamily)

Arguments

curvecolor

What color should the curve itself be. Any ggplot2-recognized format should do here.

fillcolor

What color should the area underneath the curve be. Any ggplot2-recognized format should do here.

fontfamily

Font family for labeling areas underneath the curve. OPTIONAL. You can omit this if you'd like.

Details

The normal distribution is a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
