In this tutorial, we will learn how to order facet variable in a grouped boxplot by mean difference between groups in each facet plot with ggplot2. We will use Palmer penguin dataset to make a grouped boxplot using facet_wrap() in ggplot2. Our data looks like this. First, let us make a grouped boxplot using facet_wrap().… Continue reading How to order facet variable in grouped boxplot by mean difference between groups in ggplot2

Violinplot vs Boxplot: Why Violinplot Is Better Than Boxplot
Violinplot or boxplot? What is better? Boxplots is great visualization to show a numerical variable. A boxplot shows “four main features about a variable: center, spread, asymmetry, and outliers”. With the five summary statistics one can easily draw boxplot even by hand. Violin plots are very similar to boxplot. In addition to the four main… Continue reading Violinplot vs Boxplot: Why Violinplot Is Better Than Boxplot
How To Reorder Boxplots in R with ggplot2
In this post, we will learn how to re-order boxplots in R with ggplot2. We will make a boxplot using ggplot2 with multiple groups. By default, ggplot2 orders the groups in alphabetical order. We will see multiple examples of reordering boxplots by another variable in the data using reorder() function in base R. We will… Continue reading How To Reorder Boxplots in R with ggplot2
How To Color Boxplots By a Variable in R with ggplot2?
In this tutorial, we learn how to color boxplots in R by a variable. With ggplot2 in R, we can color boxplots in multiple ways. In this post, we will first see how to make a simple boxplot in R. And then we will learn how to fill the boxes on boxplot by a variable.… Continue reading How To Color Boxplots By a Variable in R with ggplot2?
Horizontal Boxplots with ggplot2 in R
Horizontal boxplots are useful when you are making a boxplot multiple groups & you want the group names to be easily readable. And horizontal boxplots can also make it easy see the pattern among the groups quickly. In this post will learn how to make horizontal boxplots with ggplot2 in R. And then we will… Continue reading Horizontal Boxplots with ggplot2 in R
