- data
a data frame
- x
character string containing the name of x variable.
- y
character vector containing one or more variables to plot
- combine
logical value. Default is FALSE. Used only when y is a vector
containing multiple variables to plot. If TRUE, create a multi-panel plot by
combining the plot of y variables.
- merge
logical or character value. Default is FALSE. Used only when y is
a vector containing multiple variables to plot. If TRUE, merge multiple y
variables in the same plotting area. Allowed values include also "asis"
(TRUE) and "flip". If merge = "flip", then y variables are used as x tick
labels and the x variable is used as grouping variable.
- color
outline color.
- fill
fill color.
- palette
the color palette to be used for coloring or filling by groups.
Allowed values include "grey" for grey color palettes; brewer palettes e.g.
"RdBu", "Blues", ...; or custom color palette e.g. c("blue", "red"); and
scientific journal palettes from ggsci R package, e.g.: "npg", "aaas",
"lancet", "jco", "ucscgb", "uchicago", "simpsons" and "rickandmorty".
- alpha
color transparency. Values should be between 0 and 1.
- title
plot main title.
- xlab
character vector specifying x axis labels. Use xlab = FALSE to
hide xlab.
- ylab
character vector specifying y axis labels. Use ylab = FALSE to
hide ylab.
- facet.by
character vector, of length 1 or 2, specifying grouping
variables for faceting the plot into multiple panels. Should be in the data.
- panel.labs
a list of one or two character vectors to modify facet panel
labels. For example, panel.labs = list(sex = c("Male", "Female")) specifies
the labels for the "sex" variable. For two grouping variables, you can use
for example panel.labs = list(sex = c("Male", "Female"), rx = c("Obs",
"Lev", "Lev2") ).
- short.panel.labs
logical value. Default is TRUE. If TRUE, create short
labels for panels by omitting variable names; in other words panels will be
labelled only by variable grouping levels.
- linetype
line types.
- trim
If TRUE (default), trim the tails of the violins
to the range of the data. If FALSE, don't trim the tails.
- size
Numeric value (e.g.: size = 1). change the size of points and
outlines.
- width
violin width.
- draw_quantiles
![[Deprecated]](figures/lifecycle-deprecated.svg?package=ggpubr&version=0.6.1)
Previous
specification of drawing quantiles.
- select
character vector specifying which items to display.
- remove
character vector specifying which items to remove from the plot.
- order
character vector specifying the order of items.
- add
character vector for adding another plot element (e.g.: dot plot or
error bars). Allowed values are one or the combination of: "none",
"dotplot", "jitter", "boxplot", "point", "mean", "mean_se", "mean_sd",
"mean_ci", "mean_range", "median", "median_iqr", "median_hilow",
"median_q1q3", "median_mad", "median_range"; see ?desc_statby for more
details.
- add.params
parameters (color, shape, size, fill, linetype) for the
argument 'add'; e.g.: add.params = list(color = "red").
- error.plot
plot type used to visualize error. Allowed values are one of
c("pointrange", "linerange", "crossbar", "errorbar", "upper_errorbar",
"lower_errorbar", "upper_pointrange", "lower_pointrange", "upper_linerange",
"lower_linerange"). Default value is "pointrange" or "errorbar". Used only
when add != "none" and add contains one "mean_*" or "med_*" where "*" = sd,
se, ....
- label
the name of the column containing point labels. Can be also a
character vector with length = nrow(data).
- font.label
a list which can contain the combination of the following
elements: the size (e.g.: 14), the style (e.g.: "plain", "bold", "italic",
"bold.italic") and the color (e.g.: "red") of labels. For example font.label
= list(size = 14, face = "bold", color ="red"). To specify only the size and
the style, use font.label = list(size = 14, face = "plain").
- label.select
can be of two formats:
- repel
a logical value, whether to use ggrepel to avoid overplotting
text labels or not.
- label.rectangle
logical value. If TRUE, add rectangle underneath the
text, making it easier to read.
- position
A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This
can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and
improving the display. The position argument accepts the following:
The result of calling a position function, such as position_jitter().
This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position.
A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a
string, strip the function name of the position_ prefix. For example,
to use position_jitter(), give the position as "jitter".
For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the
layer position documentation.
- ggtheme
function, ggplot2 theme name. Default value is theme_pubr().
Allowed values include ggplot2 official themes: theme_gray(), theme_bw(),
theme_minimal(), theme_classic(), theme_void(), ....
- ...
other arguments to be passed to
geom_violin, ggpar and
facet.
