This is primarily used for aligning points generated through
geom_point() with dodged boxplots (e.g., a geom_boxplot() with
a fill aesthetic supplied).
position_jitterdodge(
jitter.width = NULL,
jitter.height = 0,
dodge.width = 0.75,
seed = NA
)Arguments
- jitter.width
degree of jitter in x direction. Defaults to 40% of the resolution of the data.
- jitter.height
degree of jitter in y direction. Defaults to 0.
- dodge.width
the amount to dodge in the x direction. Defaults to 0.75, the default
position_dodge()width.- seed
A random seed to make the jitter reproducible. Useful if you need to apply the same jitter twice, e.g., for a point and a corresponding label. The random seed is reset after jittering. If
NA(the default value), the seed is initialised with a random value; this makes sure that two subsequent calls start with a different seed. UseNULLto use the current random seed and also avoid resetting (the behaviour of ggplot 2.2.1 and earlier).
