Hi, I have made violin plot with both ggplot2 and vioplot package with same data. The results and code are as follows.
################### Loading data data.melt <- dget("https://gubox.box.com/shared/static/rirth0eym114afwyjxwe128sjzipzdym.txt") ################### Violin plot by library(vioplot) library(vioplot) data.use_11<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 0] data.use_12<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 1] data.use_13<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 2] data.use_14<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 3] data.use_15<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 4] data.use_16<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 5] data.use_17<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 6] data.use_18<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 7] data.use_19<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 8] data.use_110<- data.melt$value[data.melt$ident == 9] vioplot(data.use_11,data.use_12,data.use_13,data.use_14,data.use_15, data.use_16, data.use_17,data.use_18,data.use_19,data.use_110, h = 0.2, drawRect = FALSE) ## Violin plot https://i.stack.imgur.com/0taf3.jpg ##################### Violin plot by library(ggplot2) library(ggplot2) p <- ggplot(data.melt,aes(factor(ident),value)) p2 <- p + geom_violin(scale="width",adjust=adjust.use,trim=TRUE,aes(fill=factor(ident))) p2 ## Violin plot https://i.stack.imgur.com/gg6Sh.jpg ##################### Questions In those both figure, scale on x-axis (1 to 9 and 0 to 9) both are same . They are the same event. I was expecting the above 2 figures should be same (Same density presentation). But why the density representation of both picture are different ? Can any one please explain ? I thought , scale parameter in geom_violin (ggplot2) plot could be a reason and the explanation of scale parameter said in the package. But i am not clear what they are saying scale : if "area" (default), all violins have the same area (before trimming the tails). If "count", areas are scaled proportionally to the number of observations. If "width", all violins have the same maximum width. Can any one please explain what this scale parameter do and why two plot is different ? Thanks !! Regards.............
