autoplot-package: Automatic plotting with ggplot2

In jiho/autoplot: Automatic plotting with ggplot2

Description

ggplot2 is a versatile plotting package which allows to produce almost any kind of plot from data stored as a data.frame, by combining unit elements. However, it requires the user to design the plot entirely, from scratch. Many R functions for statistical analyses (linear models, factorial analyses, etc.) output objects of a given class and allow to easily plot classic diagnostics using plot(), by defining a specialized method for this generic function. This package aims at reproducing this functionality in ggplot2 while benefiting from its improved versatility. It provides two sets of functions: (i) the fortify() methods extract data from the original object and format it as a data.frame; (ii) the autoplot() methods use these data.frames and leverage ggplot2 to produce diagnostic plots.
