mapping |
Set of aesthetic mappings created by |
data |
The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If A A |
position |
Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function. |

other arguments passed on to |
draw_quantiles |
If |
trim |
If |
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 |
show.legend |
logical. Should this layer be included in the legends?

geom_violin
understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):
x
y
alpha
colour
fill
linetype
size
weight
density estimate
density estimate, scaled to maximum of 1
density * number of points - probably useless for violin plots
density scaled for the violin plot, according to area, counts or to a constant maximum width
number of points
width of violin bounding box
