Overview

About

Maintained by Hadley Wickham7 releasesCRAN page ↗

An implementation of the grammar of graphics in R. It combines the advantages of both base and lattice graphics: conditioning and shared axes are handled automatically, and you can still build up a plot step by step from multiple data sources. It also implements a more sophisticated multidimensional conditioning system and a consistent interface to map data to aesthetic attributes. See \url{http://had.co.nz/ggplot/} for more information, documentation and examples.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ggplot/ggplot_0.4.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ggplot_0.4.2.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 (0.4.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
