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'.

'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.

Command Line Interface Plotting

The 'plotcli' package provides terminal-based plotting in R. It supports colored scatter plots, line plots, bar plots, boxplots, histograms, density plots, and more. The 'ggplotcli()' function is a universal converter that renders any 'ggplot2' plot in the terminal using Unicode Braille characters or ASCII. Features include support for 15+ geom types, faceting (facet_wrap/facet_grid), automatic theme detection, legends, optimized color mapping, and multiple canvas types.

Multiple Fill and Colour Scales in 'ggplot2'

Use multiple fill and colour scales in 'ggplot2'.

Improved Text Rendering Support for 'ggplot2'

A 'ggplot2' extension that enables the rendering of complex formatted plot labels (titles, subtitles, facet labels, axis labels, etc.). Text boxes with automatic word wrap are also supported.

An Implementation of Grammar of Graphics for Graphs and Networks

The grammar of graphics as implemented in ggplot2 is a poor fit for graph and network visualizations due to its reliance on tabular data input. ggraph is an extension of the ggplot2 API tailored to graph visualizations and provides the same flexible approach to building up plots layer by layer.

Tidy Tools for Paleoenvironmental Archives

Provides a set of functions with a common framework for age-depth model management, stratigraphic visualization, and common statistical transformations. The focus of the package is stratigraphic visualization, for which 'ggplot2' components are provided to reproduce the scales, geometries, facets, and theme elements commonly used in publication-quality stratigraphic diagrams. Helpers are also provided to reproduce the exploratory statistical summaries that are frequently included on stratigraphic diagrams. See Dunnington et al. (2021) .

KMunicate-Style Kaplan–Meier Plots

Produce Kaplan–Meier plots in the style recommended following the KMunicate study by Morris et al. (2019) . The KMunicate style consists of Kaplan-Meier curves with confidence intervals to quantify uncertainty and an extended risk table (per treatment arm) depicting the number of study subjects at risk, events, and censored observations over time. The resulting plots are built using 'ggplot2' and can be further customised to a certain extent, including themes, fonts, and colour scales.
