Hi everyone -
I've recently implemented violin plots and dot plots for ggplot2. Here's a sampling of what you can do with them:
For more information, see:
If you want to try them out, you can install this development branch without interfering with your regular installation of ggplot2:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
dev_mode()
install_github("ggplot2", "wch", "feature/wdotplot")
In each R session where you want to use this version, just run:
library(devtools)
dev_mode()
library(ggplot2)
To use your regular ggplot2 installation, just restart R.
I'm still working on these things, so keep in mind that they may change (and break) in the near future.
