Overview

About

Maintained by Daniel BunisFirst published 2024-01-116 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A comprehensive visualization toolkit built with coders of all skill levels and color-vision impaired audiences in mind. It allows creation of finely-tuned, publication-quality figures from single function calls. Visualizations include scatter plots, compositional bar plots, violin, box, and ridge plots, and more. Customization ranges from size and title adjustments to discrete-group circling and labeling, hidden data overlay upon cursor hovering via ggplotly() conversion, and many more, all with simple, discrete inputs. Color blindness friendliness is powered by legend adjustments (enlarged keys), and by allowing the use of shapes or letter-overlay in addition to the carefully selected dittoColors().
