Creating a grouped box plot and range plot in ggplot2 with stat_summary and geom_boxplot (CC109)
Channel: Riffomonas Project
Date: 26/05/2021

Showing all of your data in a plot can lead to a busy plot. In this episode of Code Club, Pat will show you how to create a grouped box plot and range plot (point range plot) using microbiome data with the geom_boxplot and stat_summary functions from ggplot2. 

Pat will use RStudio and the #stat_summary and #geom_boxplot functions from the #ggplot2, package. The accompanying blog post can be found at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/2021-05-26-summary-plots.

Do you have a figure that you would like to receive a critique or help improving? Let me know and I'd be happy to arrange a guest appearance!
