Usage

plot_taxa_violin(
  object,
  taxonomic_rank = c("Kingdom", "Phylum", "Class", "Order", "Family", "Genus", "Species"),
  taxa = NULL,
  top_n = 10,
  x = "sample_id",
  relative = TRUE
)

Arguments

object: A microbiome_dataset object.
taxonomic_rank: Taxonomic rank used for aggregation.
taxa: Optional taxa to keep. Defaults to the most abundant taxa.
top_n: Number of taxa shown when taxa is not supplied.
x: Sample metadata column shown on the x axis.
relative: Whether to show relative abundance.

Value

A ggplot object.

Examples

data("global_patterns", package = "microbiomedataset")
plot_taxa_violin(global_patterns, taxonomic_rank = "Phylum", x = "SampleType", top_n = 4)
#> Ignoring unknown labels:
#> • colour : "Phylum"
