ggdiceplot: Dice Plot Visualization for ggplot2

Description

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.

Main Functions

• 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

Features

• Seamless integration with ggplot2

• Traditional dice dot layouts

• Customizable appearance (size, color, transparency)

• Support for faceting and multiple aesthetics
