ggExpress

Development of the ggExpress package for quick ggpubr based plotting ala 'Type less, Plot more'. This package is work in progress.

Installation

Install directly from GitHub via devtools with one R command:

# install.packages("devtools"); # If you don't have it.
require("devtools")

# Install dependencies
devtools::install_github(repo = "vertesy/Stringendo", upgrade = F)
devtools::install_github(repo = "vertesy/ReadWriter", upgrade = F)
devtools::install_github(repo = "vertesy/CodeAndRoll2", upgrade = F)
devtools::install_github(repo = "vertesy/MarkdownHelpers", upgrade = F)

# Install MarkdownHelpers
devtools::install_github(repo = "vertesy/ggExpress")

...then simply load the package:

require("ggExpress")

Alternatively, you simply source it from the web. This way function help will not work, and you will have no local copy of the code on your hard drive.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a bug, something doesn't work or unclear, please let me know by raising an issue on ggExpress – Please check if it has been asked.

Usage

require('ggpubr')
require('cowplot')
require('Stringendo')
require('ReadWriter')
require('CodeAndRoll2')
require('MarkdownHelpers')

require('ggExpress')


# Test ------------------

weight <- rnorm(1000); 
qhistogram(weight, vline = 3)
qdensity(weight)

weight3 <- runif (12)
qbarplot(weight3)

xvec <- c("A"=12, "B"=29)
qpie(vec = xvec)


dfx <- as.data.frame(cbind("AA"=rnorm(12), "BB"=rnorm(12)))
qscatter(dfx, suffix = "2D.gaussian")

Output

Saved as pdf by default.
