Overview

About

Maintained by Bob RudisCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A compendium of new geometries, coordinate systems, statistical transformations, scales and fonts for 'ggplot2', including splines, 1d and 2d densities, univariate average shifted histograms, a new map coordinate system based on the 'PROJ.4'-library along with geom_cartogram() that mimics the original functionality of geom_map(), formatters for "bytes", a stat_stepribbon() function, increased 'plotly' compatibility and the 'StateFace' open source font 'ProPublica'. Further new functionality includes lollipop charts, dumbbell charts, the ability to encircle points and coordinate-system-based text annotations.

Changes in 0.4.0

Fixed coord_proj()
Removed pokemon colors (et al)
Added dotted-gridline guide for geom\_dumbbell()
Complete parameter re-write to geom\_dumbbell()
New geoms & stats by Ben Bolker, Jan Schulz and Carson Sievert
Ben Marwick also did his best to keep up with my fat-fingering but I'm snuck a few in before the release

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggalt/ggalt_0.4.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ggalt_0.4.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.4.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

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

Development version from hrbrmstr/ggalt. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
