diveR is the looniverse of loon related packages, the great northern diver being another name (chiefly British) for the Common loon (chiefly North American).
Together the packages of the diveR suite provides data analytic tools for direct interactive visual exploration in R.
These tools work with and complement those of the tidyverse suite, completing the graphics grammar of ggplot2 to provide a grammar of interactive graphics. The suite provides many visual tools designed for moderately (100s of variables) high dimensional data analysis, through zenplots and novel tools in loon, and extends the ggplot2 grammar to provide parallel coordinates, Andrews plots, and arbitrary glyphs through ggmulti.
The diveR suite gathers together and installs all these related packages (documentation in links):
-
This is the backbone package that provides the interactive graphics.
-
Provides a rich collection of data sets to illustrate interactive graphics. It also includes several artificial data sets constructed for teaching purposes.
-
Extends
- the base
graphicspackage - the
gridgraphics package - the
looninteractive graphics package
to allow for the layout of alternating 1d and 2d plots.
Provides compact displays for high dimensional data (e.g., where pairs plots would be too small to be informative).
- the base
-
Extends the grammar of the
ggplot2package to accommodate displays such as parallel coordinate and Andrews function plots for high dimensional data. -
Provides a bridge between the elegant but static displays of
ggplot2and the interactive direct manipulation graphics ofloonExtends
ggplot2to provide a grammar of interactive graphics -
Enables loon plots and loon style interaction (e.g., brushing, linked plots, panning, zooming, etc., as well as a shiny version of loon inspectors) to be incorporated into a shiny application (including an RMarkdown file).
-
Enables interactive multivariate data tours with loon plots. Builds on the tour engine of the tourr
Rpackage.
