Ridgeline plots are partially overlapping line plots that create the impression of a mountain range. They can be quite useful for visualizing changes in distributions over time or space.

## Installation

Please install the stable release from CRAN:

```{r eval = FALSE}

install.packages("ggridges")

```

Alternatively, you can install the latest development version from github:

```{r eval = FALSE}

remotes::install_github("wilkelab/ggridges")

```

## Usage

```{r diamonds, warning = FALSE}

library(ggplot2)

library(ggridges)

    

ggplot(diamonds, aes(x = price, y = cut)) +

  geom_density_ridges(scale = 4) + 

  scale_y_discrete(expand = c(0, 0)) +     # will generally have to set the `expand` option

  scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) +   # for both axes to remove unneeded padding

  coord_cartesian(clip = "off") + # to avoid clipping of the very top of the top ridgeline

  theme_ridges()

```
