ggalt
A collection of extra coordinate systems, geoms, statistical transformations, scales, and fonts for the ggplot2 R package.
What is ggalt?
ggalt is an R package that extends the ggplot2 graphics system with additional coordinate systems, geometric objects (geoms), statistical transformations, and scales. It solves the problem of creating specialized visualizations—like horizon charts, improved map projections, and advanced density plots—that are not natively supported in base ggplot2.
R users and data scientists who rely on ggplot2 for data visualization and need specialized plotting capabilities for statistical analysis, geographic mapping, or creating publication-quality custom charts.
Developers choose ggalt because it provides a curated collection of well-tested, ggplot2-compatible extensions that are easy to integrate, saving time compared to building custom geoms from scratch. Its unique selling point is the combination of advanced statistical visualizations (like bkde/ash) with improved mapping capabilities (coord_proj) in a single package.
