\title{Dot plot}
\usage{
geom_dotplot(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "bindot",
position = "identity", na.rm = FALSE, binwidth = NULL, binaxis = "x",
method = "dotdensity", binpositions = "bygroup", stackdir = "up",
stackratio = 1, dotsize = 1, stackgroups = FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{binaxis}{which axis to bin along "x" (default) or "y"}
\item{method}{"dotdensity" (default) for dot-density binning, or
"histodot" for fixed bin widths (like stat_bin)}
\item{binwidth}{When \code{method} is "dotdensity", this specifies maximum bin width.
When method is "histodot", this specifies bin width.
Defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data}
\item{binpositions}{When \code{method} is "dotdensity", "bygroup" (default)
determines positions of the bins for each group separately. "all" determines
positions of the bins with all the data taken together; this is used for
aligning dot stacks across multiple groups.}
\item{stackdir}{which direction to stack the dots. "up" (default),
"down", "center", "centerwhole" (centered, but with dots aligned)}
\item{stackratio}{how close to stack the dots. Default is 1, where dots just
just touch. Use smaller values for closer, overlapping dots.}
\item{dotsize}{The diameter of the dots relative to \code{binwidth}, default 1.}
\item{stackgroups}{should dots be stacked across groups? This has the effect
that \code{position = "stack"} should have, but can't (because this geom has
some odd properties).}
\item{mapping}{The aesthetic mapping, usually constructed with
\code{\link{aes}} or \code{\link{aes_string}}. Only needs to be set
at the layer level if you are overriding the plot defaults.}
\item{data}{A layer specific dataset - only needed if you want to override
the plot defaults.}
\item{stat}{The statistical transformation to use on the data for this
layer.}
\item{position}{The position adjustment to use for overlapping points
on this layer}
\item{na.rm}{If \code{FALSE} (the default), removes missing values with
a warning. If \code{TRUE} silently removes missing values.}
\item{...}{other arguments passed on to \code{\link{layer}}. This can
include aesthetics whose values you want to set, not map. See
\code{\link{layer}} for more details.}
}
\description{
In a dot plot, the width of a dot corresponds to the bin width
(or maximum width, depending on the binning algorithm), and dots are
stacked, with each dot representing one observation.
}
\details{
With dot-density binning, the bin positions are determined by the data and
\code{binwidth}, which is the maximum width of each bin. See Wilkinson
(1999) for details on the dot-density binning algorithm.
With histodot binning, the bins have fixed positions and fixed widths, much
like a histogram.
When binning along the x axis and stacking along the y axis, the numbers on
y axis are not meaningful, due to technical limitations of ggplot2. You can
hide the y axis, as in one of the examples, or manually scale it
to match the number of dots.
