ggblanket

Objective

ggblanket is a package of ggplot2 wrapper functions for publication-quality visualisation. It seeks to support well-designed visualisation, while aligning as much as possible with ggplot2 and tidyverse conventions.

Installation

Install from CRAN, or development version from GitHub.

install.packages("ggblanket") 
pak::pak("davidhodge931/ggblanket")

Example

library(ggblanket2)
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

set_blanket()

iris |>
  gg_point(
    x = Sepal.Width,
    y = Sepal.Length,
    fill = Species,
    shape = Species,
  )

ggplot2::economics_long |>
  gg_area(
    x = date,
    y = value01,
    facet_wrap = variable,
  )

How it works

Use the gg_*() wrapper functions to:

• Plot a ggplot and geom layer in a single function
• Map aesthetic and facet variables as bare names
• Get colour and colour_* arguments inherited from fill and fill_* arguments
• Change scale arguments easily with prefixed arguments
• If lower x/y scale limit is zero, get default scale expansion of ggplot2::expansion(c(0, 0.5))
• Annotate outside the panel easier with coord_clip = "off" default
• Access to other arguments within relevant geom_* function via ...
• Get global set_blanket() setting defaults.

Use the global setup function, set_blanket(), to:

• Adjust the global theme
• Adjust the global option for how themes are to be refined based on plot scale types etc
• Adjust the global theme fill, colour, linewidth, shape, linetype, size, stroke
• Adjust the global theme fill_palette, colour_palette, shape_palette and linetype_palette
• Adjust the global option for colour_border, which is a function to transform the colour and colour_palette with input of the fill and fill_palette respectively
• Adjust the global option for fill_border, which is a function to transform the fill and fill_palette with input of the colour and colour_palette respectively
