ggpubr: 'ggplot2' Based Publication Ready Plots
===============================================
[ggplot2, by Hadley Wickham,](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/) is an excellent and flexible package for elegant data visualization in R. However the default generated plots requires some formatting before we can send them for publication. Furthermore, to customize a ggplot, the syntax is opaque and this raises the level of difficulty for researchers with no advanced R programming skills.
The 'ggpubr' package provides some easy-to-use functions for creating and customizing 'ggplot2'- based publication ready plots.

df <- ToothGrowth
head(df, 4)
#> len supp dose
#> 1 4.2 VC 0.5

``` r
# Add p-values comparing groups
# Specify the comparisons you want
my_comparisons <- list( c("0.5", "1"), c("1", "2"), c("0.5", "2") )
p + stat_compare_means(comparisons = my_comparisons)+ # Add pairwise comparisons p-value

add = "boxplot", add.params = list(fill = "white"))+
stat_compare_means(comparisons = my_comparisons, label = "p.signif")+ # Add significance levels
stat_compare_means(label.y = 50) # Add global the p-value
```
Bar plots
---------
### Demo data set
Load and prepare data:
``` r
# Load data
data("mtcars")
dfm <- mtcars
# Convert the cyl variable to a factor
dfm$cyl <- as.factor(dfm$cyl)
# Add the name colums
dfm$name <- rownames(dfm)
# Inspect the data
head(dfm[, c("name", "wt", "mpg", "cyl")])
#> name wt mpg cyl
#> Mazda RX4 Mazda RX4 2.620 21.0 6
#> Mazda RX4 Wag Mazda RX4 Wag 2.875 21.0 6
#> Datsun 710 Datsun 710 2.320 22.8 4
#> Hornet 4 Drive Hornet 4 Drive 3.215 21.4 6
#> Hornet Sportabout Hornet Sportabout 3.440 18.7 8
#> Valiant Valiant 3.460 18.1 6
```
### Ordered bar plots
Change the fill color by the grouping variable "cyl". Sorting will be done globally, but not by groups.
``` r
ggbarplot(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
fill = "cyl", # change fill color by cyl
color = "white", # Set bar border colors to white
palette = "jco", # jco journal color palett. see ?ggpar
sort.val = "desc", # Sort the value in dscending order
sort.by.groups = FALSE, # Don't sort inside each group
x.text.angle = 90 # Rotate vertically x axis texts
)
```
Sort bars inside each group. Use the argument **sort.by.groups = TRUE**.
``` r
ggbarplot(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
fill = "cyl", # change fill color by cyl
color = "white", # Set bar border colors to white
palette = "jco", # jco journal color palett. see ?ggpar
sort.val = "asc", # Sort the value in dscending order
sort.by.groups = TRUE, # Sort inside each group
x.text.angle = 90 # Rotate vertically x axis texts
)
```
### Deviation graphs
The deviation graph shows the deviation of quantitatives values to a reference value. In the R code below, we'll plot the mpg z-score from the mtcars dataset.
Calculate the z-score of the mpg data:
``` r
# Calculate the z-score of the mpg data
dfm$mpg_z <- (dfm$mpg -mean(dfm$mpg))/sd(dfm$mpg)
dfm$mpg_grp <- factor(ifelse(dfm$mpg_z < 0, "low", "high"),
levels = c("low", "high"))
# Inspect the data
head(dfm[, c("name", "wt", "mpg", "mpg_z", "mpg_grp", "cyl")])
#> name wt mpg mpg_z mpg_grp cyl
#> Mazda RX4 Mazda RX4 2.620 21.0 0.1508848 high 6
#> Mazda RX4 Wag Mazda RX4 Wag 2.875 21.0 0.1508848 high 6
#> Datsun 710 Datsun 710 2.320 22.8 0.4495434 high 4
#> Hornet 4 Drive Hornet 4 Drive 3.215 21.4 0.2172534 high 6
#> Hornet Sportabout Hornet Sportabout 3.440 18.7 -0.2307345 low 8
#> Valiant Valiant 3.460 18.1 -0.3302874 low 6
```
Create an ordered barplot, colored according to the level of mpg:
``` r
ggbarplot(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg_z",
fill = "mpg_grp", # change fill color by mpg_level
color = "white", # Set bar border colors to white
palette = "jco", # jco journal color palett. see ?ggpar
sort.val = "asc", # Sort the value in ascending order
sort.by.groups = FALSE, # Don't sort inside each group
x.text.angle = 90, # Rotate vertically x axis texts
ylab = "MPG z-score",
xlab = FALSE,
legend.title = "MPG Group"
)
```
Rotate the plot: use rotate = TRUE and sort.val = "desc"
``` r
ggbarplot(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg_z",
fill = "mpg_grp", # change fill color by mpg_level
color = "white", # Set bar border colors to white
palette = "jco", # jco journal color palett. see ?ggpar
sort.val = "desc", # Sort the value in descending order
sort.by.groups = FALSE, # Don't sort inside each group
x.text.angle = 90, # Rotate vertically x axis texts
ylab = "MPG z-score",
legend.title = "MPG Group",
rotate = TRUE,
ggtheme = theme_minimal()
)
```
Dot charts
----------
### Lollipop chart
Lollipop chart is an alternative to bar plots, when you have a large set of values to visualize.
Lollipop chart colored by the grouping variable "cyl":
``` r
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "ascending", # Sort value in descending order
add = "segments", # Add segments from y = 0 to dots
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme
)
```
- Sort in decending order. **sorting = "descending"**.
- Rotate the plot vertically, using **rotate = TRUE**.
- Sort the mpg value inside each group by using **group = "cyl"**.
- Set **dot.size** to 6.
- Add mpg values as label. **label = "mpg"** or **label = round(dfm$mpg)**.
``` r
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "descending", # Sort value in descending order
add = "segments", # Add segments from y = 0 to dots
rotate = TRUE, # Rotate vertically
group = "cyl", # Order by groups
dot.size = 6, # Large dot size
label = round(dfm$mpg), # Add mpg values as dot labels
font.label = list(color = "white", size = 9,
vjust = 0.5), # Adjust label parameters
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme
)
```
Deviation graph:
- Use y = "mpg\_z"
- Change segment color and size: add.params = list(color = "lightgray", size = 2)
``` r
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg_z",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "descending", # Sort value in descending order
add = "segments", # Add segments from y = 0 to dots
add.params = list(color = "lightgray", size = 2), # Change segment color and size
group = "cyl", # Order by groups
dot.size = 6, # Large dot size
label = round(dfm$mpg_z,1), # Add mpg values as dot labels
font.label = list(color = "white", size = 9,
vjust = 0.5), # Adjust label parameters
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme
)+
geom_hline(yintercept = 0, linetype = 2, color = "lightgray")
```
### Cleveland's dot plot
Color y text by groups. Use y.text.col = TRUE.
``` r
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "descending", # Sort value in descending order
rotate = TRUE, # Rotate vertically
dot.size = 2, # Large dot size
y.text.col = TRUE, # Color y text by groups
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme
)+
theme_cleveland() # Add dashed grids
```
