ggblanket

Purpose

ggblanket is a package of wrapper functions around the fantastic ggplot2 package.

The primary objective is to simplify ggplot2 visualisation.

Secondary objectives relate to:

• Scope: cover the most useful 80% of what ggplot2 does
• Design: produce well-designed visualisation by default
• Alignment: use conventions generally aligned with ggplot2.

It is intended to be useful for all levels of experience from beginner to expert.

Installation

install.packages("ggblanket")

Examples

library(ggblanket)
library(palmerpenguins)
library(dplyr)

penguins |>
  tidyr::drop_na() |>
  mutate(sex = stringr::str_to_sentence(sex)) |>
  gg_point(
    x = flipper_length_mm,
    y = body_mass_g,
    col = sex,
    title = "Penguins body mass by flipper length",
    subtitle = "Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica",
    caption = "Source: Gorman, 2020"
  )
