Accelerating ggplot2

ggforce is a package aimed at providing missing functionality toggplot2 through the extension system introduced withggplot2 v2.0.0.Broadly speakingggplot2 has been aimed primarily at explorative datavisualization in order to investigate the data at hand, and less atproviding utilities for composing custom plots a laD3.js.ggforce is mainly an attempt to addressthese “shortcomings” (design choices might be a better description). Thegoal is to provide a repository of geoms, stats, etc. that are as welldocumented and implemented as the official ones found inggplot2.

You can install the released version of ggforce fromCRAN with:

install.packages("ggforce")

And the development version fromGitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")devtools::install_github("thomasp85/ggforce")

ggforce is by design a collection of features with the onlycommonality being their tie to theggplot2 API. Because of this anoverview of all features would get too long for a README. The packagehas awebsite where every featureis described and justified with examples and plots. There should be aplot in the README of a visualization package though, so without furtherado:

library(ggforce)#> Loading required package: ggplot2ggplot(iris, aes(Petal.Length,Petal.Width,colour=Species))+  geom_point()+  facet_zoom(x=Species=="versicolor")
