Create Standalone and Composite Plots in 'ggplot2' for Publications

Provides functions for creating and annotating a composite plot in 'ggplot2'. Offers background themes and shortcut plotting functions that produce figures that are appropriate for the format of scientific journals. Some methods are described in Min and Zhou (2021) .

Dedicated 'ggplot2' Methods for 'fixest' Objects

Provides 'ggplot2' equivalents of fixest::coefplot() and fixest::iplot(), for producing nice coefficient plots and interaction plots. Enables some additional functionality and convenience features, including grouped multi-'fixest' object faceting and programmatic updates to existing plots (e.g., themes and aesthetics).

Scales, Geometries, and Extensions of 'ggplot2' for Election Mapping

Provides 'ggplot2' extensions for political map making. Implements new geometries for groups of simple feature geometries. Adds palettes and scales for red to blue color mapping and for discrete maps. Implements tools for easy label generation and placement, automatic map coloring, and themes.

Inky Color Schemes

Provides color palettes designed to be reminiscent of text on paper. The color schemes were taken from < https://stephango.com/flexoki>. Includes discrete, continuous, and binned scales that are not necessarily color-blind friendly. Simple scale and theme functions are available for use with 'ggplot2'.

A Natural Language Interface to 'ggplot2'

The 'ggplot2' package is the state-of-the-art toolbox for creating and formatting graphs. However, it is easy to forget how certain formatting commands are named and sometimes users find themselves asking: How do you rotate the x-axis labels again? Or how do you hide the legend...? This package allows users to issue natural language commands related to theme-related styling of plots (colors, font size and such), which then are translated into valid 'ggplot2' commands.

Star Trek Color Palettes

Provides a dataset of predefined color palettes based on the Star Trek science fiction series, associated color palette functions, and additional functions for generating customized palettes that are on theme. The package also offers functions for applying the palettes to plots made using the 'ggplot2' package.

Ridgeline Plots in 'ggplot2'

Ridgeline plots provide a convenient way of visualizing changes in distributions over time or space. This package enables the creation of such plots in 'ggplot2'.

United States House and Senate Voting Cartogram Generators

'ProPublica' < https://projects.propublica.org/represent/> makes United States Congress member votes available and has developed their own unique cartogram to visually represent this data. Tools are provided to retrieve voting data, prepare voting data for plotting with 'ggplot2', create vote cartograms and theme them.

Colorblind-Friendly Color Maps for R

Color maps designed to improve graph readability for readers with common forms of color blindness and/or color vision deficiency. The color maps are also perceptually-uniform, both in regular form and also when converted to black-and-white for printing. This package also contains 'ggplot2' bindings for discrete and continuous color and fill scales. A lean version of the package called 'viridisLite' that does not include the 'ggplot2' bindings can be found at < https://cran.r-project.org/package=viridisLite>.

The Composer of Plots

The 'ggplot2' package provides a strong API for sequentially building up a plot, but does not concern itself with composition of multiple plots. 'patchwork' is a package that expands the API to allow for arbitrarily complex composition of plots by, among others, providing mathematical operators for combining multiple plots. Other packages that try to address this need (but with a different approach) are 'gridExtra' and 'cowplot'.
