## 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.
