# ggseqplot: ggplotify sequence data plots 
[](https://cran.r-project.org/package=ggseqplot)
[](https://github.com/maraab23/ggseqplot/actions)
[](https://app.codecov.io/gh/maraab23/ggseqplot?branch=main)
The main goal of [`{ggseqplot}`](https://maraab23.github.io/ggseqplot/) is to
provide functions that reproduce the sequence plots from
[`{TraMineR}`](http://traminer.unige.ch){target="\_blank"}'s `seqplot`
using [`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"}.
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}`](http://traminer.unige.ch){target="\_blank"} and
[`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"}
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}`](http://traminer.unige.ch){target="\_blank"}, but rather
because I am normally using
[`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"} instead of
base R's `plot` environment for visualizing data.
[`{TraMineR}`](http://traminer.unige.ch){target="\_blank"} was developed before
[`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"} was as popular
as it is today and back then many users were more familiar with coding base R
plots. To date, however, many researchers and students are more accustomed to
using [`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"} and
prefer to draw on the related skills and experiences instead of learning
how to refine base R plots just for the single purpose of visualizing
sequence data.
[`{ggseqplot}`](https://maraab23.github.io/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 computed with `TraMineR::seqtrate`)
- `ggseqiplot` (equivalent to `TraMineR::seqIplot`)
- `ggseqfplot` (equivalent to `TraMineR::seqfplot`)
- `ggseqrplot` (equivalent to `TraMineR::seqrplot`)
- `ggseqrfplot` (equivalent to `TraMineRextras::seqplot.rf`)
If you have change requests or find errors, [create an
issue](https://github.com/maraab23/ggseqplot/issues/new) on github or
send me an
[email](mailto:[email protected]?subject=ggseqplot%3A%20feature%20request).
A complementing [vignette](https://maraab23.github.io/ggseqplot/articles/ggseqplot.html) outlines how [`{ggseqplot}`](https://maraab23.github.io/ggseqplot/) reshapes sequence data
generated with [`{TraMineR}`](http://traminer.unige.ch){target="\_blank"} functions to visualize them using
[`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"}. Moreover, it
illustrates how to adjust the baseline output using familiar
[`{ggplot2}`](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/){target="\_blank"}
functions (and add-ons).
## Installation
You can install the CRAN version of [`{ggseqplot}`](https://maraab23.github.io/ggseqplot/) by typing:
``` r
install.packages("ggseqplot")
```
The development version can be installed with:
``` r
devtools::install_github("maraab23/ggseqplot")
```
