Description

Render Sequence Plots using 'ggplot2'.

A set of wrapper functions that mainly re-produces most of the sequence plots rendered with TraMineR::seqplot(). Whereas 'TraMineR' uses base R to produce the plots this library draws on 'ggplot2'. The plots are produced on the basis of a sequence object defined with TraMineR::seqdef(). The package automates the reshaping and plotting of sequence data. Resulting plots are of class 'ggplot', i.e. components can be added and tweaked using '+' and regular 'ggplot2' functions.

The main goal of {ggseqplot} is to provide functions that reproduce the sequence plots from {TraMineR}’s seqplot using {ggplot2}. These plots are produced on the basis of state sequence objects defined with TraMineR::seqdef. The package automates the reshaping and plotting of sequence data. This library literally builds on the excellent work of the {TraMineR} and {ggplot2} developers and uses several of the their functions to produce ggplot2-flavored figures.

Note, that this library was not written because I personally dislike the plots produced by {TraMineR}, but rather because I normally use {ggplot2} instead of base R’s plot environment for data visualization. {TraMineR} was developed before {ggplot2} became as popular as it is today, when most users were more familiar with base R plots. Today, however, many researchers and students prefer to use {ggplot2} and draw on their existing skills rather than learn base R graphics just to visualize sequence data.

{ggseqplot} contains the following functions:

  • ggseqdplot (equivalent to TraMineR::seqdplot)
  • ggseqeplot (equivalent to TraMineRextras::seqplot.tentrop)
  • ggseqmsplot (equivalent to TraMineR::seqmsplot)
  • ggseqmtplot (equivalent to TraMineR::seqmtplot)
  • ggstrqeplot (based on transitions rates from TraMineR::seqtrate)
  • ggseqiplot (equivalent to TraMineR::seqIplot)
  • ggseqfplot (equivalent to TraMineR::seqfplot)
  • ggseqrplot (equivalent to TraMineR::seqrplot)
  • ggseqrfplot (equivalent to TraMineRextras::seqplot.rf)

A complementing vignette outlines how {ggseqplot} reshapes sequence data generated with {TraMineR} functions for visualization with {ggplot2}. It also shows how to customize the plots using familiar {ggplot2} functions and extensions.
