ggalt : Extra Coordinate Systems, Geoms, Statistical Transformations, Scales & Fonts for ‘ggplot2’

A compendium of ‘geoms’, ‘coords’, ‘stats’, scales and fonts for ‘ggplot2’, including splines, 1d and 2d densities, univariate average shifted histograms, a new map coordinate system based on the ‘PROJ.4’-library and the ‘StateFace’ open source font ‘ProPublica’.

The following functions are implemented:

  • geom_ubar : Uniform width bar charts

  • geom_horizon : Horizon charts (modified from https://github.com/AtherEnergy/ggTimeSeries)

  • coord_proj : Like coord_map, only better (prbly shld use this with geom_cartogram as geom_map’s new defaults are ugh)

  • geom_xspline : Connect control points/observations with an X-spline

  • stat_xspline : Connect control points/observations with an X-spline

  • geom_bkde : Display a smooth density estimate (uses KernSmooth::bkde)

  • geom_stateface: Use ProPublica’s StateFace font in ggplot2 plots

  • geom_bkde2d : Contours from a 2d density estimate. (uses KernSmooth::bkde2D)

  • stat_bkde : Display a smooth density estimate (uses KernSmooth::bkde)

  • stat_bkde2d : Contours from a 2d density estimate. (uses KernSmooth::bkde2D)

  • stat_ash : Compute and display a univariate averaged shifted histogram (polynomial kernel) (uses ash::ash1/ash::bin1)

  • geom_encircle: Automatically enclose points in a polygon

  • byte_format: + helpers. e.g. turn 10000 into 10 Kb

  • geom_lollipop(): Dead easy lollipops (horizontal or vertical)

  • geom_dumbbell() : Dead easy dumbbell plots

  • stat_stepribbon() : Step ribbons

  • annotation_ticks() : Add minor ticks to identity, exp(1) and exp(10) axis scales independently of each other.

  • geom_spikelines() : Instead of geom_vline and geom_hline a pair of segments that originate from same c(x,y) are drawn to the respective axes.

  • plotly integration for a few of the ^^ geoms
