Overview

About

Maintained by Zehao XuCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides a bridge between the 'loon' and 'ggplot2' packages. Extends the grammar of ggplot to add clauses to create interactive 'loon' plots. Existing ggplot(s) can be turned into interactive 'loon' plots and 'loon' plots into static ggplot(s); the function 'loon.ggplot()' is the bridge from one plot structure to the other.

Install

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

install.packages("loon.ggplot", 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("great-northern-diver/loon.ggplot")

Development version from great-northern-diver/loon.ggplot. 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-loon.ggplot

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-loon.ggplot

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
