Blending and Compositing Algebra for 'ggplot2'

v0.1.2 · Oct 4, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Algebra of operations for blending, copying, adjusting, and compositing layers in 'ggplot2'. Supports copying and adjusting the aesthetics or parameters of an existing layer, partitioning a layer into multiple pieces for re-composition, applying affine transformations to layers, and combining layers (or partitions of layers) using blend modes (including commutative blend modes, like multiply and darken). Blend mode support is particularly useful for creating plots with overlapping groups where the layer drawing order does not change the output; see Kindlmann and Scheidegger (2014) <doi:10.1109/TVCG.2014.2346325>.
