plotthis for R plotting – Jie Hua’s Bioinformatics Notes

Basic Information

I noticed a new R package called “plotthis” produced byundefined. This package could generate publication ready plots with simple commands, which largely simplified the R plotting process.

The manual: https://jbengler.github.io/tidyplots/

It is based on ggplot2 system, it is also very easy to add more features as we want.

Installation

pak::pkg_install("plotthis")

The development version could be installed with

pak::pkg_install("pwwang/plotthis")

Plotting Demo

library(plotthis)

Clustree Plot

First 6 rows of the demo dataframe
p.0.4	p.0.5	p.0.6	p.0.7	p.0.8	p.0.9	p.1	split
B	A	F	G	G	J	Z	2
D	E	A	H	A	D	I	1
C	F	G	G	C	H	NA	2
A	C	B	B	C	E	L	1
A	E	A	E	H	H	B	1
A	E	B	B	B	E	T	2

ClustreePlot(data, prefix = "p")

Registered S3 method overwritten by 'gglogger':
  method from   
  +.gg   ggplot2

I just realized that you might set the height and width of plots carefully, as this package dose not fit the size of your screen automatically, it is a small shortage.

I like the ChordPlot and VennDiagrm it could generate.

This package maybe helpful for beginners or people without much knowledge of ggplot2.
