University of Cincinnati Themes and Utilities for Econometrics and Data Science

Provides plotting helpers, table-formatting utilities, and report templates for econometrics, model development, and applied data analysis. Includes University of Cincinnati branded themes for 'ggplot2', 'modelsummary', 'flextable', 'rmarkdown', 'bookdown', and 'quarto'.

Plotting Tool for Brain Atlases

Provides a 'ggplot2' geom and position for visualizing brain region data on cortical, subcortical, and white matter tract atlases. Brain atlas geometries are stored as simple features ('sf'), enabling seamless integration with the 'ggplot2' ecosystem including faceting, custom scales, and themes. Mowinckel & Vidal-Piñeiro (2020) .

'ggplot2' Pattern Geoms

Provides 'ggplot2' geoms filled with various patterns. Includes a patterned version of every 'ggplot2' geom that has a region that can be filled with a pattern. Provides a suite of 'ggplot2' aesthetics and scales for controlling pattern appearances. Supports over a dozen builtin patterns (every pattern implemented by 'gridpattern') as well as allowing custom user-defined patterns.

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'.

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).

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'.

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.

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>.

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.
