Boxplot enhancements #3402

Open dannyparsons opened 7 years ago

dannyparsons commented 7 years ago
  1. Should we have x axis text angle on the main dialog (as well as themes)? Or could this be on a climatic boxplots dialog only?
  2. Boxplots can be used when the x-variable is a variate - rather than a factor. Here is an example from the documentation ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat, price)) + geom_boxplot(aes(group = cut_width(carat, 0.25))) So could we permit this (exceptionally in the main dialogue - or somewhere)? If a variate, then you need to group by the cut_width, so there would be an additional field and the default cut_width could be 1. I wonder if this could go on the boxplot options? Then the year could be a variate and I think the axis labels would then be fine.
  3. When making the year into a factor it is logically an ordered factor. I feel there could usefully be an option with an ordered factor to not display all levels on the axis. I don't know whether this is indeed possible, or whether it makes a good question to ask?

From here #2084

I do not believe 3. is possible in any "automatic" way other than setting the axis labels manually.

The x-axis angle (or 90 degrees could usefully go on the x-axis sub-dialogue. It would be done automatically on the climatic boxplots!
