| shape_boxplot {playitbyr} | R Documentation |
Gives a sense of the distribution of values by sampling at increasingly narrow percentiles around the median.
shape_boxplot(length = 5, tempo = 240, pause = 0.1, ...,
data = NULL, mapping = NULL)
length |
The overall length, in seconds, of each segment of the boxplot. |
tempo |
The tempo, in beats per minute; i.e. the rapidity with which to represent values from the dataset. |
pause |
The pause between each segment of the boxplot, in seconds. |

The audio boxplot is implemented by a simple
frequency-modulation synthesis (through csound),
representing a univariate view of the data by rapidly
playing pitches in the 5th to 95th percentile, then the
interquartile range (25th to 75th), then the median, all
sampled from the dataset. (It is essentially
shape_histogram evaluated separately on
each of these subsets of the data.)
Only pitch is intended to be used for mapping but
the remainder of the same parameters available in
shape_scatter are available for setting to suit
the analyst's ear:
The starting time of the note (in seconds).
The pitch of the note, in the
Csound
oct
notation notation for pitches, where 8 is middle C and 1
represents an octave, to the corresponding frequency in
Hertz. By default this is scaled to the nearest musical
(chromatic) pitch. (See
scale_pitch_continuous.)
The
duration of the note (relative to the total time if
relative = TRUE, in seconds otherwise).
The volume of the note, as a proportion between 0 and 1, where 1 is the maximum volume. Note that a multiple notes that happen at the same time could add up to more than one, causing distortion and clipping.
The proportion of the note's length devoted to the initial (linear) attack.
The proportion of the note's length devoted to the (linear) decay.
The index of modulation. This affects
the distortion of the tone; indx = 0 is a sine
wave, whereas higher indices of modulation give
increasingly complex tones.
The modulating
frequency, given as a multiple of the primary frequency
(i.e. given by pitch).
To set a sound parameter to a value, you simply
include it as an extra argument in shape_scatter;
to map a parameter, you set the mapping for the
layer or the sonify object using
sonaes (see examples in
shape_scatter).
A sonlayer object that can be added onto a
sonify object.
