nicePlots

This package customizes ggplot2-plots for personal purposes. nicePlots generates clean and simple plots with some support for customization. Special attention has gone to provide intuitive support for grouping to plot trends, histograms and densities for separate subgroups.

Installation

You can install the development version of nicePlots from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("SZuzek/nicePlots")

Example

A basic example how to plot visually appealing graphs with two groups.

library(nicePlots)
niceLinePlot(mtcars, "disp", "hp", linetype = "vs", linetypelabels = c("V-shaped", "straight"), linename = "Engine", line_size = 1.2, xlab = "Displacement, in litres", ylab = "Miles per Gallon, Highway")

niceDensity can be used to inspect distributions.

niceDensity(mtcars, "hp", color = "vs", fill = "vs", colorlabels = c("V-shaped", "straight"), colorname = "Engine", filllabels = c("V-shaped", "straight"), fillname = "Engine", xlab = "Miles per Gallon, Highway")
