Most graphs in this book only need ggplot2 and dplyr, but some graph types live in extension packages. The tables below list the extensions (and the helper packages) each chapter uses. I’ve used pak for every install command because it handles packages on CRAN (pak::pak("ggridges")) and GitHub (pak::pak("owner/repo")) the same way.
| Graph | Package | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Waffle charts | ggwaffle |
pak::pak("liamgilbey/ggwaffle") |
| Mosaic plots | ggmosaic |
pak::pak("haleyjeppson/ggmosaic") |
| Pie charts | ggpubr |
pak::pak("ggpubr") |
| Treemaps | treemapify |
pak::pak("treemapify") |
| Beeswarm plots | ggbeeswarm |
pak::pak("ggbeeswarm") |
| Ridgeline plots | ggridges |
pak::pak("ggridges") |
| Raincloud plots | raincloudplots and ggdist |
pak::pak(c("jorvlan/raincloudplots", "ggdist")) |
| Bump charts | ggbump |
pak::pak("davidsjoberg/ggbump") |
| Stream plots | ggstream |
pak::pak("davidsjoberg/ggstream") |
| Alluvial charts | ggalluvial |
pak::pak("ggalluvial") |
| Parallel sets | ggforce |
pak::pak("ggforce") |
| Hexagon bins | hexbin (used by geom_hex()) |
pak::pak("hexbin") |
These packages don’t add new graph types, but a few chapters rely on them to simulate data, combine graphs, or choose colors.
| Package | What it’s used for | Chapters | Install |
|---|---|---|---|
faux |
Simulating correlated variables (rnorm_multi()) and designs (sim_design()) |
Cleveland dot plots, raincloud plots, grouped scatter plots, density contours | pak::pak("faux") |
patchwork |
Combining graphs into one figure | Mosaic plots, overlapping and stacked density plots, grouped line graphs | pak::pak("patchwork") |
colorspace |
Sequential color palettes | 2D histograms, hexagon bins | pak::pak("colorspace") |
fmggp2 |
The 90s themes and book helpers (see Appendix C) | Every chapter | pak::pak("mjfrigaard/fmggp2") |
The code below installs everything at once.
