3.1 Ordered bar plots

sort.val = "desc", # Sort the value in dscending order
sort.by.groups = FALSE, # Don't sort inside each group
x.text.angle = 90 # Rotate vertically x axis texts
)
Sort bars inside each group. Use the argument sort.by.groups = TRUE.
ggbarplot(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
fill = "cyl", # change fill color by cyl
color = "white", # Set bar border colors to white

3.2 Deviation graphs
The deviation graph shows the deviation of quantitatives values to a reference value.
# Calculate the z-score of the mpg data

dfm$mpg_grp <- factor(ifelse(dfm$mpg_z < 0, "low", "high"),

4. Dot charts
4.1 Lollipop chart
Lollipop chart is an alternative to bar plots, when you have a large set of values to visualize.
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "ascending", # Sort value in descending order
add = "segments", # Add segments from y = 0 to dots
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme
)
Sort in decending order. sorting = "descending"
Rotate the plot vertically, using rotate = TRUE
Sort the mpg value inside each group by using group = "cyl".
Set dot.size to 6.
Add mpg values as label. label = "mpg" or label = round(dfm$mpg)
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "descending", # Sort value in descending order
add = "segments", # Add segments from y = 0 to dots
rotate = TRUE, # Rotate vertically
group = "cyl", # Order by groups
dot.size = 6, # Large dot size
label = round(dfm$mpg), # Add mpg values as dot labels
font.label = list(color = "white", size = 9,
vjust = 0.5), # Adjust label parameters
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme
)
ggdotchart(dfm, x = "name", y = "mpg_z",
color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
sorting = "descending", # Sort value in descending order
add = "segments", # Add segments from y = 0 to dots
add.params = list(color = "lightgray", size = 2), # Change segment color and size
group = "cyl", # Order by groups
dot.size = 6, # Large dot size
label = round(dfm$mpg_z,1), # Add mpg values as dot labels
font.label = list(color = "white", size = 9,
vjust = 0.5), # Adjust label parameters
ggtheme = theme_pubr() # ggplot2 theme

geom_hline(yintercept = 0, linetype = 2, color = "lightgray")
4.2 Cleveland's dot plot

color = "cyl", # Color by groups
palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"), # Custom color palette
