Arguments

data

A tibble or dataframe. Required input.

x_var

Unquoted variable to be on the x axis. Required input.

y_var

Unquoted numeric variable to be on the y axis. Defaults to NULL. Required if stat equals "boxplot".

group_var

Unquoted variable to be the grouping variable Defaults to NULL. Only applicable if stat equals "boxplot".

stat

String of "boxplot" or "identity". Defaults to "boxplot". If identity is selected, data provided must be grouped by the x_var with ymin, lower, middle, upper, ymax variables. Note "identity" does not provide outliers.

pal

Character vector of hex codes. Defaults to viridis. Use the pals package to find a suitable palette.

width

Width of the box. Defaults to 0.5.

title

Title string. Defaults to "[Title]".

title_wrap

Number of characters to wrap the title to. Defaults to 70. Not applicable where isMobile equals TRUE.

subtitle

Subtitle string. Defaults to "[Subtitle]".

subtitle_wrap

Number of characters to wrap the subtitle to. Defaults to 80. Not applicable where isMobile equals TRUE.

x_expand

A vector of range expansion constants used to add some padding on the x scale.

x_labels

Argument to adjust the format of the x scale labels.

x_pretty_n

The desired number of intervals on the x axis, as calculated by the pretty algorithm. Defaults to 6. Only applicable to a x variable that is categorical or date.

x_title

X axis title string. Defaults to "[X title]".

x_title_wrap

Number of characters to wrap the x title to. Defaults to 50. Not applicable where isMobile equals TRUE.

y_balance

Add balance to the y axis so that zero is in the centre of the y scale.

y_expand

A vector of range expansion constants used to add some padding on the y scale.

y_labels

Argument to adjust the format of the y scale labels.

y_pretty_n

The desired number of intervals on the y axis, as calculated by the pretty algorithm. Defaults to 5.

y_title

Y axis title string. Defaults to "[Y title]".

y_title_wrap

Number of characters to wrap the y title to. Defaults to 50. Not applicable where isMobile equals TRUE.

y_trans

TRUEransformation of y-axis scale (e.g. "signed_sqrt"). Defaults to "identity", which has no transformation.

y_zero

TRUE or FALSE of whether the minimum of the y scale is zero. Defaults to TRUE.

y_zero_line

TRUE or FALSE whether to add a zero reference line to the y axis. Defaults to NULL, which is TRUE if there are positive and negative values in y_var. Otherwise it is FALSE.

caption

Caption title string. Defaults to NULL.

caption_wrap

Number of characters to wrap the caption to. Defaults to 80. Not applicable where isMobile equals TRUE.

font_family

Font family to use. Defaults to "Helvetica".

font_size_title

Font size for the title text. Defaults to 11.

font_size_body

Font size for all text other than the title. Defaults to 10.

isMobile

Whether the plot is to be displayed on a mobile device. Defaults to FALSE. If within an app with the mobileDetect function, then use isMobile = input$isMobile.

Value

A ggplot object.
