\arguments{
\item{inSCE}{Input \linkS4class{SingleCellExperiment} object with saved
dimension reduction components or a variable with saved results. Required.}

\item{coldata}{colData value that will be plotted.}

\item{sample}{Character vector. Indicates which sample each cell belongs to.}

\item{groupBy}{Groupings for each numeric value. A user may input a vector
equal length to the number of the samples in the SingleCellExperiment
object, or can be retrieved from the colData slot. Default NULL.}

\item{violin}{Boolean. If TRUE, will plot the violin plot. Default TRUE.}

\item{boxplot}{Boolean. If TRUE, will plot boxplots for each violin plot.
Default TRUE.}

\item{dots}{Boolean. If TRUE, will plot dots for each violin plot.
Default TRUE.}

\item{xlab}{Character vector. Label for x-axis. Default NULL.}

\item{ylab}{Character vector. Label for y-axis. Default NULL.}

\item{baseSize}{The base font size for all text. Default 12.
Can be overwritten by titleSize, axisSize, and axisLabelSize.}

\item{axisSize}{Size of x/y-axis ticks. Default NULL.}

\item{axisLabelSize}{Size of x/y-axis labels. Default NULL.}

\item{dotSize}{Size of dots. Default 0.5.}

\item{transparency}{Transparency of the dots, values will be 0-1. Default 1.}

\item{defaultTheme}{Removes grid in plot and sets axis title size to 10
when TRUE. Default TRUE.}

\item{gridLine}{Adds a horizontal grid line if TRUE. Will still be
drawn even if defaultTheme is TRUE. Default FALSE.}

\item{summary}{Adds a summary statistic, as well as a crossbar to the
violin plot. Options are "mean" or "median". Default NULL.}

\item{summaryTextSize}{The text size of the summary statistic displayed
above the violin plot. Default 3.}

\item{title}{Title of plot. Default NULL.}

\item{titleSize}{Size of title of plot. Default 15.}

\item{combinePlot}{Must be either "all", "sample", or "none". "all" will combine all plots into a single
.ggplot object, while "sample" will output a list of plots separated by sample. Default "none".}

\item{plotLabels}{labels to each plot. If set to "default", will use the name of the samples
as the labels. If set to "none", no label will be plotted.}
