The ggdiceplot package provides extensions for ggplot2 that allow
visualizing data using dice-based dot patterns. The main feature is
geom_dice(), which displays categorical variables using traditional dice
face layouts (1 to 6 dots). This is especially helpful for multidimensional
categorical data visualization.
geom_dice — Display dice representations for data points
create_dice_positions — Generate dice dot patterns for integers 1–6
make_offsets — Internal function to calculate x/y offsets for dot placement
Seamless integration with ggplot2
Traditional dice dot layouts
Customizable appearance (size, color, transparency)
Support for faceting and multiple aesthetics
