README
## lwplot
This is an *experimental* fork of [ggplot2](README-ggplot2.md) which aims to explore if we
can make it part of the [tinyverse](http://www.tinyverse.org).
### What's with the name?
LW can stand for _lighter-weight_ but also Leland Wilkinson of _Grammar of Graphics_ fame.
### Which Version ?
We started off ggplot2 2.1.0 which still had somewhat moderate dependencies:
```
Depends: R (>= 3.1)
Imports: digest, grid, gtable (>= 0.1.1), MASS, plyr (>= 1.7.1),
reshape2, scales (>= 0.3.0), stats
```
Version 2.2.0 introduced the `tibble` and `lazyeval`:
```
Depends: R (>= 3.1)
Imports: digest, grid, gtable (>= 0.1.1), MASS, plyr (>= 1.7.1),
reshape2, scales (>= 0.4.1), stats, tibble, lazyeval
```
Version 3.0.0 adds `rlang`, `mgcv`, `viridisLite`, `withr`:
```
Depends: R (>= 3.1)
Imports: digest, grid, gtable (>= 0.1.1), lazyeval, MASS, mgcv, plyr
(>= 1.7.1), reshape2, rlang, scales (>= 0.5.0), stats, tibble,
viridisLite, withr (>= 2.0.0)
```
Maybe we can stay at what 2.1.0 and even remove `plyr` and `reshape2`
by introducing `data.table`.
### Status ?
Not bad. After some minimal changes, it passes `R CMD check` as `lwplot`.
And following some initial work, `reshape2` is gone. `plyr` is still in, and
removing it will be quite some work.
### Who ?
Dirk Eddelbuettel for this.
Hadley Wickham and many collaborators for the underlying ggplot2 2.1.0.
