Create Glyph-Maps of Spatiotemporal Data

Provides 'ggplot2' extensions to construct glyph-maps for visualizing seasonality in spatiotemporal data. See the Journal of Statistical Software reference: Zhang, H.

sugarglider

Overview

sugarglider provides ggplot2 extensions to create glyph maps that visualize seasonal aspects of spatio-temporal data with geom_glyph_ribbon() and geom_glyph_segment().

These functions create a ribbon or segment geometry designed to display glyphs based on the combination of x_major and y_major. For each x_minor value, geom_glyph_ribbon() displays a y interval defined by ymin_minor and ymax_minor. Meanwhile, geom_glyph_segment() draws a straight line between y_minor and yend_minor with respect to x_minor.
