Create Waterfall Charts using 'ggplot2' Simply

v1.1.4 · May 9, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

A not uncommon task for quants is to create 'waterfall charts'. There seems to be no simple way to do this in 'ggplot2' currently. This package contains a single function (waterfall) that simply draws a waterfall chart in a 'ggplot2' object. Some flexibility is provided, though often the object created will need to be modified through a theme.
