Basic Boxplots Using a Unified AAGI Style and Typography

Source: R/boxplot_aagi.R
boxplot_aagi.Rd

Basic boxplots that follow a standard AAGI style including typography guidelines that uses (hopefully) sensible defaults. All valid boxplot() options are supported through ..., for e.g., col to set the colour. Defaults to "AAGI Black", a very dark grey colour.

Usage

boxplot_aagi(x, main = "", sub = "", xlab = "", ylab = "", pch = 16, ...)

Arguments

x

for specifying data from which the boxplots are to be produced. Either a numeric vector, or a single list containing such vectors. Additional unnamed arguments specify further data as separate vectors (each corresponding to a component boxplot). NAs are allowed in the data.

main

Main title. Optional, if not supplied it will be blank.

sub

Sub title below x-axis label. Optional, if not supplied it will be blank.

xlab

X-axis label. Optional.

ylab

Y-axis label. Optional.

pch

plotting 'character', i.e., symbol to use.

...

Arguments to be passed to methods, such as graphical parameters (see graphics::par()). The most commonly used argument would be y for the factor to use for the y-axis, type describing what type of plot should be drawn, or col for point colour (defaults to AAGI Black), a very dark grey.

Value

A boxplot object, returned invisibly (see graphics::boxplot()).
