Publication-Quality 'ggplot2' Visualisation

Wrapper 'ggplot2' functions for publication-quality visualisation. Aligned with 'ggplot2' and 'tidyverse'. Covers much of what 'ggplot2' does.

ggblanket

Objective

ggblanket is a package of ggplot2 wrapper functions for publication-quality visualisation. It seeks to support well-designed visualisation, while aligning as much as possible with ggplot2 and tidyverse conventions.

Installation

Install from CRAN, or development version from GitHub.

install.packages("ggblanket") 
pak::pak("davidhodge931/ggblanket")

Example

library(ggblanket)
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

iris |>
  gg_point(
    x = Sepal.Width,
    y = Sepal.Length,
    fill = Species,
    shape = Species,
  )

ggplot2::economics_long |>
  gg_area(
    x = date,
    y = value01,
    facet = variable,
  )

How it works

Use the gg_*() wrapper functions to:

Plot a ggplot and geom layer in a single function
Map aesthetic and facet variables as bare names
Get colour and colour_* arguments inherited from fill and fill_* arguments
Change scale arguments easily with prefixed arguments
If lower x/y scale limit is zero, get default scale expansion of ggplot2::expansion(c(0, 0.5))
Access to other arguments within relevant geom_* function via ...
Plus more!
