Overview

About

Maintained by Wayne OldfordCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Graphical tools for visualizing high-dimensional data along a path of alternating one- and two-dimensional plots. Includes optional interactive graphics via 'loon' (which uses 'tcltk' from base R). Support is provided for constructing graph structures and, when available, plotting them with Bioconductor packages (e.g., 'graph', 'Rgraphviz'); these are optional and examples/vignettes are skipped if they are not installed. For algorithms and further details, see doi:10.18637/jss.v095.i04.

Changes in 1.0.7

Fixed URLs
Ensured suggested packages appear only conditionally everywhere.
updated examples, documentation, and vignettes to not rely on the Rgraphviz package from Bioconductor. Also added some information for the user to install this package if they want to draw any of the graphs constructed by zenplots
fixed link to graphNEL from graph package in documentation of graph_pairs.
added mvtnorm, crop to suggests in DESCRIPTION for demo; also made explicit calls to crop::dev.off.crop() in SP500 demo.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("zenplots", 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/zenplots")

Development version from great-northern-diver/zenplots. 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-zenplots

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
