erocoar/gghalves

About

gghalves makes it easy to compose your own half-half plots via ggplot2. Think displaying a boxplot next to jittered points, or violin plots side by side with dotplots.

Installation

gghalves can be installed via GitHub:

if (!require(devtools)) {
    install.packages('devtools')
}
devtools::install_github('erocoar/gghalves')

Features

gghalves adds _half_ extensions to selected geoms:

• geom_half_boxplot
• geom_half_violin
• geom_half_point

All of them have a side argument that can be either l for left or r for right half. As a special case there is also geom_half_dotplot to support half dotplots that dodge aesthetics such as fill and colour.

gghalves also works well with other ggplot2 geoms and extensions such as geom_dotplot and ggbeeswarm::geom_beeswarm.

Roadmap

Generally, I hope to add more features over time. If you would like to see a certain feature, please open an issue.
