ggprovenance

DEPRECATED, this package is no longer under development see IsoplotR for alternatives

A package using H. Wickham's ggplot2 to produce dada plots commonly used in sediment provenance analysis. This package uses P. Vermeesch's provenance package for calculations, but adds 'aesthetics' (cf. ggplot2), like colour, symbols, linetypes. Output can easily be exported into a range of file formats thanks to ggsave() or further edited with e.g. theme(). Several helper functions of general use are provided.

Installation

To install, if you do not have devtools installed, run:

install.packages("devtools")

Then pull the latest version from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("thegeologician/ggprovenance",build_vignettes = TRUE)

Overview

The main workhorse functions are:

• plotKDE()
• plotMDS()

Besides, functions to easily import dada from common file formats like csv and xls (thanks to the gdada package), and to convert these to/from dada objects used by provenance, are provided, as well as 'lesser' plotting functions like plotDendrogram() and plotShepard(). See helpfiles and vignettes.

This is less of an add-on to ggplot2, than a collection of wrappers to produce 'pretty' plots easily, while trying to maintain the princiles of the 'Grammar of Graphics'.
