geom_violin: Violin plot.

Description

Violin plot.

Usage

geom_violin(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "ydensity",
  draw_quantiles = NULL, position = "dodge", trim = TRUE,
  scale = "area", na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE,
  ...)

stat_ydensity(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, geom = "violin", position = "dodge", adjust = 1, kernel = "gaussian", trim = TRUE, scale = "area", na.rm = FALSE, 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), is combined with the default mapping at the top le
data
A data frame. If specified, overrides the default data frame defined at the top level of the plot.
draw_quantiles
If not(NULL) (default), draw horizontal lines at the given quantiles of the density estimate.
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.
scale
if "area" (default), all violins have the same area (before trimming the tails). If "count", areas are scaled proportionally to the number of observations. If "width", all violins have the same maximum width.
na.rm
If FALSE (the default), removes missing values with a warning. If TRUE silently removes missing values.
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.
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.
...
other arguments passed on to layer. There are three types of arguments you can use here:

  • Aesthetics: to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, likecolor = "red"orsize = 3.

geom, stat
Use to override the default connection between geom_violin and stat_ydensity.
adjust

kernel
kernel used for density estimation, see density for details
