simplevis

Purpose

simplevis is a package of wrapper functions to make ggplot2 and leaflet visualisation easier.

The aim is of simplevis is to make the majority of visualisations easier, while supporting users to move between ggplot2 and simplevis as needed.

simplevis makes things easier by:

• minimising visualisation types available to vbar, hbar, point, line, boxplot or sf
• minimising aesthetics available to x, y, colour and facetting
• using a simpler method for colouring
• using consistent prefixes and the Rstudio auto-complete function
• using ggplot2 based terminology for leaflet visualisation.

The package also supports making mobile-friendly visualisation for mobile devices.
