# ggdaynight 

`ggdaynight` is an R package that adds a day/night pattern to ggplot2 plots. Daytime is represented by rectangles filled with a specified `day_fill` color and nighttime by rectangles filled with a specified `night_fill` color. The pattern is created along the x-axis, which must be a datetime variable.

## Installation

You can install the released version of `ggdaynight` from CRAN:

```

install.packages("ggdaynight")

```

You can install the development version of `ggdaynight` from GitHub with:

```

# Install devtools if not already installed

if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly = TRUE)) {

  install.packages("devtools")

}

# Install ggdaynight from GitHub

devtools::install_github("GabrielSlPires/ggdaynight")

```

## Usage

Basic Usage with Default Parameters

```

library(ggplot2)

library(ggdaynight)

ggplot(daynight_temperature, aes(datetime, temperature)) +

  geom_daynight() +

  geom_point() +

  theme_classic()

```

![basic plot](man/figures/basic-plot.png)

Basic Usage with Faceting by Sensor

```

ggplot(daynight_temperature, aes(datetime, temperature)) +

  geom_daynight() +

  geom_point() +

  facet_wrap(vars(sensor)) +

  theme_classic()

```

![facet plot](man/figures/facet-plot.png)

Usage with Lines and Color by Sensor

```

ggplot(daynight_temperature, aes(datetime, temperature, color = sensor)) +

  geom_daynight() +

  geom_line(linewidth = 1) +

  theme_classic()

```

![color plot](man/figures/color-plot.png)

Custom Day and Night Fill Colors, Custom Sunrise and Sunset Times, and Adjusted Alpha

```

ggplot(daynight_temperature, aes(datetime, temperature, group = sensor)) +

  geom_daynight(day_fill = "yellow", night_fill = "blue",

                sunrise = 5, sunset = 20, alpha = 0.5) +

  geom_line(linewidth = 1) +

  theme_classic()

```

![custom plot](man/figures/custom-plot.png)
