gf_point()

The gf_point() function can be used to create a scatterplot, or to plot a specified point, such as a specific value along the x-axis.

Example 1:

gf_point( Thumb ~ Height , data = Fingers , size = 2 )

Example of output from running the code above:

Example 2:

# Save the sample b1 and set up the sampling distribution of b1s

sample_b1 <- b1(Tip ~ Condition, data = TipExperiment)

sdob1 <- do(1000)* b1(Tip ~ shuffle(Condition), data = TipExperiment)

# Plot the sample b1 value along the x-axis of the sdob1

gf_histogram(~b1, data = sdob1, fill = ~middle(b1, .95), bins=100) %>%

      gf_point(0 ~ sample_b1, color = "black")

Example of output from running the code above:

• 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_vline()

  The gf_vline() function will add a vertical line onto a plot. You can plot the line by referencing a value in a data frame (Example 1), or by specifying the point along the axis where the line should run through (Example 2). Example 1: # Save the ...

• gf_jitter()

  The gf_jitter() function will generate a jitter plot. A jitter plot is a point plot (similar to a scatter plot, such as gf_point()) but the points are moved slightly ("jittered") so that they do not overlap as much. This can help make it easier to ...

• balancing point

  Balancing point is the point at which all things below it are equal to all things above it; for example, the mean is the number that balances the deviations above and below it, yielding the same amount of error above it as below it.

• 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. ...
