    • 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 ...

      In a histogram, density is roughly the same as proportion.
    • 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( ~ ...
    • 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 ...
    • gf_dhistogram()

      The gf_dhistogram() function is very similar to the gf_histogram() function, however, the difference is that gf_dhistogram() will create a density histogram for a quantitative variable. This means it will show the percentage of cases for each value ...
