position_beeswarm

Violin point-style plots to show overlapping points. x must be discrete.


Description

Violin point-style plots to show overlapping points. x must be discrete.

Usage

position_beeswarm(priority = c("ascending", "descending", "density", "random",
  "none"), cex = 1, groupOnX = NULL, dodge.width = 0)

Arguments

priority

Method used to perform point layout (see swarmx)

cex

Scaling for adjusting point spacing (see swarmx)

groupOnX

if TRUE then jitter is added to the x axis and if FALSE jitter is added to the y axis. Prior to v0.6.0, the default NULL causes the function to guess which axis is the categorical one based on the number of unique entries in each. This could result in unexpected results when the x variable has few unique values and so in v0.6.0 the default was changed to always jitter on the x axis unless groupOnX=FALSE. Also consider coord_flip.

dodge.width

Amount by which points from different aesthetic groups will be dodged. This requires that one of the aesthetics is a factor.
