position_dodge_: Dodge overlapping objects side-to-side

Description

Dodging preserves the vertical position of an geom while adjusting the horizontal position. position_dodge_() dodges bars side by side but conditional on locations.

Usage

position_dodge_(width = NULL, preserve = c("total", "single"))
position_dodge2_(
  width = NULL,
  preserve = c("total", "single"),
  padding = 0.1,
  reverse = FALSE
)

Arguments

width

Dodging width, when different to the width of the individual elements. This is useful when you want to align narrow geoms with wider geoms. See the examples.

preserve

Should dodging preserve the "total" width of all elements at a position, or the width of a "single" element?

padding

Padding between elements at the same position. Elements are shrunk by this proportion to allow space between them. Defaults to 0.1.

reverse

If TRUE, will reverse the default stacking order. This is useful if you're rotating both the plot and legend.

Details

It is built based on position_dodge, but used for multiple locations, such as geom_hist_() or geom_density_(). Check examples to see the difference.

See geom_hist_ and geom_serialaxes_hist for more examples.

Other position adjustments for multiple locations: position_identity_, position_stack_, position_fill_

                      values_to = "values") %>%
  ggplot(data,
         mapping = aes(x = `Outer sterile whorls`,
                       y = values,
                       fill = Species))
