The goal of FreesearchR is to keep things simple. Visuals can get very complicated. We provide a selection of plots, that helps visualise typical clinical and will be enough for most use cases, and for publishing to most journals.
If you want to go further, have a look at these sites with suggestions and sample code for data plotting:
R Charts: Extensive gallery with great plots

graphics principles: Easy to follow recommendations for clear visuals.
Available plots
Below are the available plot types listed.
| Data type | Plot type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| continuous | Violin plot | A modern alternative to the classic boxplot to visualise data distribution |
| continuous | Scatter plot | A classic way of showing the association between to variables |
| continuous | Box plot | A classic way to plot data distribution by groups |
| dichotomous | Stacked horizontal bars | A classical way of visualising the distribution of an ordinal scale like the modified Ranking Scale and known as Grotta bars |
| dichotomous | Violin plot | A modern alternative to the classic boxplot to visualise data distribution |
| dichotomous | Sankey plot | A way of visualising change between groups |
