gf_facet_grid()

The gf_facet_grid() function will create separate plots for each group of a categorical variable. It can be chained onto plots such as gf_histogram(), gf_jitter(), and gf_bar().

Example 1:

# Density histogram of Thumb faceted by Sex

gf_dhistogram( ~ Thumb , data = Fingers ) %>%

      gf_facet_grid( Sex ~ . )

Example of output from running the code above:

Example 2:

# Bar plot of RaceEthnic faceted by Sex

gf_bar(~RaceEthnic, data = Fingers)%>%

      gf_facet_grid( Sex ~ . )

Example of output from running the code above:

Example 3:

# Jitter plot of Thumb by Height faceted by Sex

gf_jitter(Thumb ~ Height , data = Fingers ) %>%

      gf_facet_grid( Sex ~ . )

Example of output from running the code above:

• gf_bar()

  The gf_bar() function creates a bar graph. It can be used to visualize the distribution of a categorical variable by counting the number of observations for each group of the category. Bar graphs can also be used with the gf_facet_grid() function. ...

• gf_density()

  The gf_density() function will overlay a density plot onto a density histogram (i.e., gf_dhistogram(), not gf_histogram()). The density plot is a smoothed out version of the distribution. They can be helpful when you want to get a better idea of the ...

• gf_lm()

  The gf_lm() function overlays the best-fitting regression line on a scatter plot when chained onto gf_point(). Example: # adds a regression line gf_point(Thumb ~ Height, data = Fingers) %>%       gf_lm( color = "orange", size = 2 )

• gf_histogram()

  The gf_histogram() function will create a frequency histogram for a quantitative variable. This means it will show the number of cases observed in the data for each value of the variable. (See gf_dhistogram() for information on density histograms). ...

• gf_labs()

  The gf_labs() function can be used to modify the labels of your plots. You can add a title for your plot, or modify the label for the x- or y-axis. Example: # Add a title and change the label for the x-axis gf_histogram(~Thumb, data = Fingers) %>%   ...
