pm_box_list(df, x, y, ...)

cont_cat(df, x, y, xs = defcx(), ys = defy(), ...)

Arguments

data frame to plot

x

character col//title for x-axis data; see col_label

y

character col//title for y-axis data; see col_label

Details

Since this function creates a boxplot, the x column must be character, factor or logical and y column must be numeric.

Summary numbers located below each box are described in boxwork. The summaries will not be correct if the plot is eventually faceted by another variable in the data set. In this case, either use shown=FALSE or create the plot with split_plot.
