Overview

About

Maintained by Guangchuang YuCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Many complex plots are actually composite plots, such as 'oncoplot', 'funkyheatmap', 'upsetplot', etc. We can produce subplots using 'ggplot2' and combine them to create composite plots using 'aplot'. In this way, it is easy to customize these complex plots, by adding, deleting or modifying subplots in the final plot. This package provides a set of utilities to help users to create subplots and complex plots.

Changes in 0.0.6

export oncoplot_components() as a reusable component interface for downstream oncoplot extensions (2026-07-15, Wed)
refactor oncoplot() to assemble panels from oncoplot_components() with native pipe syntax

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("aplotExtra", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("YuLab-SMU/aplotExtra")

Development version from YuLab-SMU/aplotExtra. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-aplotextra

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
