# ggshape

[![Travis-CI Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jonocarroll/ggshape.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jonocarroll/ggshape)

Arrange `facet`-like `ggplot` plots in a pre-defined, non-grid shape.

## Installation

``` r

devtools::install_github("jonocarroll/ggshape")

```

## Examples

The original motivation for this package was to arrange facets off-center, such as

``` r

plot_triangle(letters[1:19], ggshape_random_walk,

                       nrow = 5, user_scale = "3cm", gap_size = 0.2,

                       point = "top")

```

![](man/figures/random_triangle_up.png)

The plotting function is entirely user-specified, so it can be replaced with any other `ggplot` call

``` r

plot_triangle(letters[1:19], ggshape_lang_diffs,

                         nrow = 5, user_scale = "3cm", gap_size = 0.2,

                         point = "top")

```

![](man/figures/languages_triangle_up.png)

The placement in the triangle is entirely procedural, so it works for any number of rows

``` r

plot_triangle(1:32, ggshape_rainbow_text,

                         nrow = 6, user_scale = "3cm", gap_size = 0.2,

                         point = "top")

```

Another pre-defined pattern of interest may be useful for text analysis

``` r

plot_keyboard(ggshape_lang_diffs)

```

``` r

plot_keyboard(ggshape_english_usage)

```

- more shapes!

- maps!
