In hrbrmstr/ggchicklet: Create 'Chicklet' (Rounded Segmented Column) Charts

ggchicklet

Create Chicklet (Rounded Segmented Column) Charts

Description

Sometimes it is useful to stylize column charts a bit more than just bland rectangles. Methods are provided to create rounded rectangle segmented column charts (i.e. “chicklets”).

What’s Inside The Tin

• debates2019: 2019-2020 U.S. Democratic Debate Candidate/Topic Times
• geom_chicklet: Chicklet (rounded segmented column) charts

The following functions are implemented:
