In this tutorial, we’ll dive into grouped boxplots using ggplot2 in R and demonstrate how to reorder facet variables based on the mean difference between groups. Imagine comparing sales performance across multiple regions or test scores across different schools—by reordering facets, you can immediately highlight which groups stand out. We’ll walk you through calculating mean… 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
Reorder Boxplots in R (ggplot2): 4 Easy Examples
Why Reorder Boxplots in ggplot2? By default, ggplot2 arranges categorical variables alphabetically. Reordering boxplots by a numeric summary (mean or median) helps highlight patterns—like which airlines fly fastest on average. This makes your visualization more interpretable and presentation-ready. In this post, we will learn how to re-order boxplots in R with ggplot2. We will make… Continue reading Reorder Boxplots in R (ggplot2): 4 Easy Examples

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
