When you have data for a variable corresponding to multiple groups, visualizing the data for each group can be useful. One of the techniques to use is to visualize data from multiple groups in a single plot. However, a better way visualize data from multiple groups is to use “facet” or small multiples. ggplot2 makes… Continue reading How To Make Facet Plot using facet_wrap() in ggplot2?

How To Adjust Title Position in ggplot2 ?
One of the annoying things while making a plot is fine tuning it the way you want. Sometimes ones of such pain points is placing the title on the plot. Till recently, ggplot2 placed title or subtitle such that it aligns with the plotting area. In this post we will learn how to use ggplot2… Continue reading How To Adjust Title Position in ggplot2 ?
How To Make Boxplots with Text as Points in R using ggplot2?
Boxplots with overlayed data points is a great way visualize multiple distributions. One of the biggest benefits of adding data points over the boxplot is that we can actually see the underlying data instead of just the summary stat level data visualization. Sometimes using text labels instead of data points can be helpful as it… Continue reading How To Make Boxplots with Text as Points in R using ggplot2?
How to Add Vertical Lines By a Variable in Multiple Density Plots with ggplot2
Adding vertical line or lines at mean or median of density plot can help us understand the trend in the data. When you make multiple density plots adding vertical mean/median line for each group in the same color as the density plot is of great help. In this post, we will see an example of… Continue reading How to Add Vertical Lines By a Variable in Multiple Density Plots with ggplot2
How To Make Boxplots in base R?
In this post, we will learn how to make simple boxplots using base R function boxplot(). We will use mtcars dataset available readily in R to first make a simple boxplot using boxplot() function in base R. And then we will learn how to customize the boxplot with specifying x and y-axis labels. Finally, we… Continue reading How To Make Boxplots in base R?
