gguidance 0.0.0.9001

Restarted package from scratch, using a different approach.

Thanks to the following people for catching and reporting early bugs:

• @davidhodge931 (#7, #8, #9, #12)

Mechanism

The crux in gguidance is that you combine a ‘key’, that contains instructions on which values are represented, with a ‘guide’ that controls how these values are represented.

Full guides

Full guides are guides that you can just drop in the guides() function or as guide argument to scales.

• guide_axis_custom() as an axis guide.
• guide_colourbar_custom() as a continuous colour/fill guide.
• guide_coloursteps_custom() as a binned colour/fill guide.
• guide_colour_ring() as a continuous colour/fill guide.
• guide_subtitle() as a colour/fill guide.

Gizmos

Gizmos are standalone specialised displays.

• gizmo_barcap() for displaying colour gradients with capping options.
• gizmo_stepcap() for displaying stepped gradients with capping options.
• gizmo_density() for displaying gradient-filled densities.
• gizmo_histogram() for displaying gradient-filled histograms.
• gizmo_grob() for displaying custom grobs.

Compositions

Compositions offer ways to combine guides.

• compose_stack() for stacking guides.
• compose_ontop() for overlaying guides.
• compose_crux() for layout out guides in a cross.
• compose_sandwich() for flanked guides.

Primitives

Primitives are the most basic elements that guides use.

• primitive_line() for lines.
• primitive_ticks() for tick marks.
• primitive_labels() for text labels.
• primitive_spacer() for empty space.
• primitive_title() for text titles.
• primitive_bracket() for labelled brackets.
• primitive_box() for rectangles.
