# BMIplot

A simple tool to make a BMI plot of height vs. weight in ggplot2 in R

## Examples

 

### Set up demo data set

```

demo_data=read.csv("http://people.ucsc.edu/~cdobkin/NHIS%202007%20data.csv")%>%

   mutate(Weight=weight/2.20462, #convert pounds to kg

          Height=height*2.54,    #convert inches to cm

          Gender=recode(SEX,`1`="Male",`2`="Female"))%>%

   filter(Height<200,Weight<200) #remove ridiculous entries

```

   

   

### Specify lots

```

makeBMIplot(sample_n(demo_data,100),

            weight="Weight",

            height="Height",

            colFactor="Gender",

            aspect_ratio = 3)

```

![Example 1](BMIex1.jpeg)

### Specify colour factor

```

makeBMIplot(sample_n(demo_data,100),

            colFactor="Gender")

```

![Example 2](BMIex2.jpeg)

### Don't specify colour factor

```

makeBMIplot(sample_n(demo_data,100),

            alpha=0.3)

```

### Add jitter and alpha to counteract overplotting

```

makeBMIplot(demo_data,

            weight="Weight",

            height="Height",

            colFactor="Gender",

            aspect_ratio = 3,

            jitter=TRUE,

            alpha=0.4)

```
