Hi folks,
Trying to get the word out: ggplotplus, my package (my first!) centered on making Universal-Design-oriented graphs using ggplot2, is out on CRAN as of yesterday!
In a nutshell, it provides an overhauled default theme more tightly adhering to data visualization best practices (at least as I've come to understand them over the last several years!) as well as several tools enabling design options (relocation of the y axis title, addition of custom, more visually distinct point shapes, and direct group labeling within the plotting area, to name a few) that are currently challenging for novices and veterans alike to achieve in ggplot2 without piles of bespoke code and fiddling.
The package's Github is here: MAISRC/ggplotplus: Package home for ggplot_plus.
The full package "cookbook" and graph design guide is here: Guide to the ggplotplus Package.
An accompanying publication is written and awaiting publication.
I'd especially love feedback from grad students and R/stats instructors as well as messages from interested collaborators! I'm a first-time package developer riding solo and I'd welcome any help/guidance folks can offer!
...And, of course, let me know all the ways my package is shoddily constructed and breaks at the slightest provocation 😅.
