Violin plot of colData.

Visualizes values stored in the colData slot of a SingleCellExperiment object via a violin plot.

)

Arguments

inSCE	Input SingleCellExperiment object with saved dimension reduction components or a variable with saved results. Required.
coldata	colData value that will be plotted.
sample	Character vector. Indicates which sample each cell belongs to.
groupBy	Groupings for each numeric value. A user may input a vector equal length to the number of the samples in the SingleCellExperiment object, or can be retrieved from the colData slot. Default NULL.
violin	Boolean. If TRUE, will plot the violin plot. Default TRUE.
boxplot	Boolean. If TRUE, will plot boxplots for each violin plot. Default TRUE.
dots	Boolean. If TRUE, will plot dots for each violin plot. Default TRUE.
xlab	Character vector. Label for x-axis. Default NULL.
ylab	Character vector. Label for y-axis. Default NULL.
baseSize	The base font size for all text. Default 12. Can be overwritten by titleSize, axisSize, and axisLabelSize.
axisSize	Size of x/y-axis ticks. Default NULL.
axisLabelSize	Size of x/y-axis labels. Default NULL.
dotSize	Size of dots. Default 0.5.
transparency	Transparency of the dots, values will be 0-1. Default 1.
defaultTheme	Removes grid in plot and sets axis title size to 10 when TRUE. Default TRUE.
gridLine	Adds a horizontal grid line if TRUE. Will still be drawn even if defaultTheme is TRUE. Default FALSE.
summary	Adds a summary statistic, as well as a crossbar to the violin plot. Options are "mean" or "median". Default NULL.
summaryTextSize	The text size of the summary statistic displayed above the violin plot. Default 3.
title	Title of plot. Default NULL.
titleSize	Size of title of plot. Default 15.
combinePlot	Must be either "all", "sample", or "none". "all" will combine all plots into a single .ggplot object, while "sample" will output a list of plots separated by sample. Default "none".
plotLabels	labels to each plot. If set to "default", will use the name of the samples as the labels. If set to "none", no label will be plotted.

Value

a ggplot of the violin plot of coldata.
