ggrain - Raincloud Plots

ggrain is an R-package that allows you to create Raincloud plots - following the ‘Grammar of Graphics’ (i.e., ggplot2) - that are:

Example

ggplot(iris, aes(x = 1, y = Sepal.Length)) +
  geom_rain()

Installation

There are two ways to install this package.

  1. Download the CRAN version
install.packages("ggrain")

library(ggrain)
  1. Download through GitHub
if (!require(remotes)) {
    install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github('njudd/ggrain')

library(ggrain)

Simple examples

  1. Raincloud per group

  2. Different groups overlapped

Vignette

For a complete overview of ggrain such as a 2-by-2 raincloud plot or multiple repeated measures, please see our Vignette.

ggrain specific features

geom_rain is a combination of 4 different ggplot2 geom’s (i.e., point, line, boxplot & violin).

Specific geom arguments can be passed with a list to any of the 4 geom’s with the argument {point/line/boxplot/violin}.args. For a list of arguments that can be passed see the help files of the respective geom’s (e.g., ?gghalves::geom_half_violin).

Position-related arguments (e.g., jittering, nudging & width) can be passed with {point/line/boxplot/violin}.args.pos, see the help file of ?geom_rain for defaults

Funding

In 2021, NWO (Dutch research council) announced their inaugural NWO Open Science Fund. The Open Science Fund aims to support researchers to develop, test and implement innovative ways of making research open, accessible, transparent and reusable, covering the whole range of Open Science. The Raincloud plots team was awarded this fantastic initiative and is specifically working on:
