colour

Character, name of the column in toplot to use as colour.

shape

point_alpha

Numeric between 0 and 1, the opacity of the points in the plot (with 1 = fully opaque, and 0 = fully transparent). Default value is 1.

add_boxplot

Logical, should a boxplot be drawn on top of the points for violin plots? Default value is TRUE.

Details

If colour_by is used, and the corresponding variable is numeric, the violins and boxplots will not take into account this variable. If instead the colour_by variable is a character or factor, a separate violin and boxplot will be drawn for each category.
