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?
How to Make Horizontal Boxplot with ggplot2 version 3.3.0?
Making a boxplot or barplot horizontally can be useful in a variety of scenarios. In ggplot2, till now the only way to make a plot horizontal is to use flip the axis using coord_flip(). With ggplot2 version 3.3.0, we can easily flip axis and make horizontal boxplot or horizontal barplot without using coord_flip(). Let us… Continue reading How to Make Horizontal Boxplot with ggplot2 version 3.3.0?
