Histograms : Parameters used to create histograms in 2d scatter plots

# histogramAsDotplot

Flag to use dots as histogram bars
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramBinWidth

Width in actual units for the histogram bin
Type: float
Default: false
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramBins

Approximate number of bins in a histogram. It may vary to the actual number used in the histogram to ensure a pretty size for the intervals in the histogram. Default is the same as in ggplot which is 30
Type: integer
Default: 30
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramBreaks

Numeric vector to set the histogram breaks. It is automatically calculated if not defined using the axisAlgorithm setting and the histogramBins
Type: array
Default: []
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramDensityFillTransparency

Transparency applied to the filled histogram density
Type: float
Default: 0.85
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramDotplotBorderColor

Color for the border in data points in dotplot histograms
Type: color
Default: rgb(215,48,39)
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramDotplotBorderLineType

Type of line for the border in data points in dotplot histograms
Type: string
Default: solid
Options: rect, solid, spline, dotted, dashed, dotdash, longdash, twodash
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramDotplotBorderSize

Size for the border line in data points in dotplot histograms

Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramDotplotColor

Color for the data points in dotplot histograms
Type: color
Default: rgb(215,48,39)
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramLowest

Histogram lowest is a boolean. If true, an x[i] equal to the breaks value will be included in the first (or last, for right = FALSE) bar
Type: boolean
Default: true
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramMedianLineType

Line type for the histogram median
Type: string
Default: dashed
Options: solid, dotted, dashed, dotdash, longdash, twodash
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramPathColor

Color for the histogram path. If not specified the it defaults to the color of the histogram bars
Type: color
Default: rgb(0,0,0)
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramPathFillTransparency

Transparency applied to the filled histogram path
Type: float
Default: 0.85
Used in: Scatter2D

Type: boolean
Default: true
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramSizeEstimator

Histogram size estimator
Type: string
Default: sturges
Options: sturges, freedmanDiaconis, scott
Used in: Scatter2D

# histogramStackDir

Direction to stack the dots in dotplot histograms
