The JSON object is used to create a data.table. The graphing package `ggplot2` is then used to create the protein schematic. The Vignette gives a good overview of the package. Sample script on [R for Biochemists blog](http://rforbiochemists.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/using-drawproteins-for-draw-nf-kappab.html) This package is available through [Bioconductor](https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/drawProteins.html). Installation instructions and documentation are [available](https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/drawProteins.html). To install from Github: ```{r, eval = FALSE} if (!require(devtools)) { install.packages('devtools') } devtools::install_github('brennanpincardiff/drawProteins') ``` Feedback is <b>very</b> welcome.
