Overview

About

Maintained by Chun-Hui GaoFirst published 2019-10-0913 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Easy-to-use functions to generate 2-7 sets Venn or upset plot in publication quality. 'ggVennDiagram' plot Venn or upset using well-defined geometry dataset and 'ggplot2'. The shapes of 2-4 sets Venn use circles and ellipses, while the shapes of 4-7 sets Venn use irregular polygons (4 has both forms), which are developed and imported from another package 'venn', authored by Adrian Dusa. We provided internal functions to integrate shape data with user provided sets data, and calculated the geometry of every regions/intersections of them, then separately plot Venn in four components, set edges/labels, and region edges/labels. From version 1.0, it is possible to customize these components as you demand in ordinary 'ggplot2' grammar. From version 1.4.4, it supports unlimited number of sets, as it can draw a plain upset plot automatically when number of sets is more than 7.

Install

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

install.packages("ggVennDiagram", 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("gaospecial/ggVennDiagram")

Development version from gaospecial/ggVennDiagram. 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-ggvenndiagram

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-ggVennDiagram

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ggVennDiagram

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
