### Violin Plots in R
This package allows extensive customisation of violin plots.
## Installation
To get the current released version from CRAN:
```R
install.packages("vioplot")
```
To get the development version from github:
```R
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("TomKellyGenetics/vioplot", ref = "dev")
```
## Running
See the relevant vignette for more details:
* Customising colour and shape with scalar inputs or vectors applied separately to each violin.
https://rawgit.com/TomKellyGenetics/vioplot/vignettes/vignettes/violin_customisation.html
* Formula input enabled with S3 methods.
https://rawgit.com/TomKellyGenetics/vioplot/vignettes/vignettes/violin_formulae.html
* Control of violin area for proportional widths
https://rawgit.com/TomKellyGenetics/vioplot/vignettes/vignettes/violin_area.html
* Control of the y-axis including disabling labels and log-scale
https://rawgit.com/TomKellyGenetics/vioplot/vignettes/vignettes/violin_ylog.html
* Split violins to directly compare paired data.
https://rawgit.com/TomKellyGenetics/vioplot/vignettes/vignettes/violin_split.html
## Functionality
vioplot (0.3) is backwards-compatible with vioplot (0.2). The following features are supported:
* `vioplot()` generates a violin plot by plotting a violin for each group of variables.
* `vioplot()` also takes additional arguments to specify `main`, `sub`, `xlab`, and `ylab` as used in `plot` or `title`. Graphical parameters can be passed to plotting parameters.
* `vioplot()` can take vectorised forms of colour variables `col`, `border`, and `rectCol` to modify the colours separately for each violin respectively. This also applies to a new variable `lineCol` to modify the colour of the boxplots.
* `vioplot.formula()` is enabled to take formula and dataframe inputs as used for boxplot and stats operations. The default axes labels are the variable names used for the formula and names are factor levels.
* additional `areaEqual`, `plotCentre` and `side` options enables further customisation.
See the NEWS.md file for more detail on added features in the 0.3 release.
