I am generating split violin plots using the geom_split_violin function created here: Split violin plot with ggplot2.

Then, I add labels for sample sizes (n = ...) for each split violin. However, there are some missing values, which results in mislabelling from the missing data onward.

Using the code below, this is the result: enter image description here

In the bottom grid (B), under p2, there are no values for fill value = 1. This results in mislabelling of the split violins thereafter. Specifically, the labels n = 3 and n = 108 are swapped.

Might there be a way to solve this?

Here is the full code:

 # Create data
 set.seed(12345)
 my_data = data.frame(
     y=c(rnorm(1000, 15)),
     type=c(rep("A", 635), rep("B", 365)),
     variable=c(rep("p1", 151), rep("p2", 287), rep("p3", 197), 
             rep("p1", 73), rep("p2", 181), rep("p3", 111)),
     value=c(rep("0", 89), rep("1", 62), 
            rep("0", 151), rep("1", 136), 
            rep("0", 101), rep("1", 96), 
            rep("0", 39), rep("1", 34), 
            rep("0", 181), 
            rep("0", 108), rep("1", 3)))

    for b/p2 you have a length 1 label but a length 2 nudge (`x = c(-0.25, 0.25)`), so it throws off the rest. You can try `position_dodge(width = 1)` instead – rawr Aug 13 '19 at 05:25
  • Woohoooo! Fantastic! Thank you so much! If you want to put this as an answer, I'll tick and up-vote it. – Sylvia Rodriguez Aug 13 '19 at 09:32
