Change name from 'getFertilizer' to 'ggfertilizer' as this package is heavily built under ggplot2.

There are several reasons to decide change name of R package:

  1. getFertilizer is a good name, but the word 'get' is not very straightforward. Users may be confused what they might get from the package.

  2. I have to use a capital F to separate the two words: get and fertilizer. However, I don't like this. I prefer to use underscore, which is not proper in package names.

  3. The most amazing output from this package will be a ggplot object. So name it as ggfertilizer will be straightforward for users. Users will expect to obtain output that is highly compatible with ggplot2.

Therefore, I decided to change the package name to ggfertilizer. The instruction is available via: So, you’ve decided to change your r package name
