This chapter will present some packages and functionalities that act as ggplot2
supplements. I may start by disclaiming that if a specific geometry, stat, or position is not presented by ggplot2
, there might be very good reasons. Every single new functionality is opinionated before getting on board in order to prevent users from making really bad decisions.
Hardly ggplot2
had accidentally missed some kind of plot; it most probably choose to not incorporate some for user-safety purposes. That said, we are now sailing with no seat belts fastened. Think very carefully before applying any of the visuals that we're about to see. I shall confess though that these visuals are pretty amazing. You will learn how to craft zoom-facets, sina plots, and more cool stuff.
