ggplot2 boxplot dotSize

[ghost]

It would be nice if dotSize could accept a variable name (aesthetic mapping).

Is there a way to get the generated ggplot command that your functions create?

Thank you for this suggestion. The easyGgplot2 package is under intensive modifications in order to simplify the package and to add many other options.

Pending new verision of easyGgplot2 , I suggest the following quick-start-guides to customize your boxplot and/or your dotplot with ggplot2:

• ggplot2 box plot - Quick start guide: http://www.sthda.com/english/wiki/ggplot2-box-plot-quick-start-guide-r-software-and-data-visualization
• ggplot2 stripchart (jitter) : Quick start guide: http://www.sthda.com/english/wiki/ggplot2-stripchart-jitter-quick-start-guide-r-software-and-data-visualization

Load ggplot2

library("ggplot2")

Prepare the data

# Load data
data(ToothGrowth)
# Convert the variable dose from a numeric to a factor variable
ToothGrowth$dose <- as.factor(ToothGrowth$dose)

Combine box plot and dot plot

# Default plot
ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x=dose, y=len)) + 
  geom_boxplot(notch = TRUE)+
  geom_dotplot(binaxis='y', stackdir='center')

# Change dot size using numeric value
ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x=dose, y=len)) + 
  geom_boxplot(notch = TRUE)+
  geom_dotplot(binaxis='y', stackdir='center', dotsize = 1.5)
