*Accelerating ggplot2*

`ggforce` is a package aimed at providing missing functionality to `ggplot2` 

through the extension system introduced with `ggplot2` v2.0.0. Broadly speaking 

`ggplot2` has been aimed primarily at explorative data visualization in order to 

investigate the data at hand, and less at providing utilities for composing 

custom plots a la [D3.js](https://d3js.org). `ggforce` is mainly an attempt to 

address these "shortcomings" (design choices might be a better description). The 

goal is to provide a repository of geoms, stats, etc. that are as well 

documented and implemented as the official ones found in `ggplot2`.

## Installation

You can install the released version of ggforce from [CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org) with:

``` r

install.packages("ggforce")

```

And the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

``` r

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("thomasp85/ggforce")

```

## Features

`ggforce` is by design a collection of features with the only commonality being

their tie to the `ggplot2` API. Because of this an overview of all features 

would get too long for a README. The package has a [website](https://ggforce.data-imaginist.com)

where every feature is described and justified with examples and plots. There

should be a plot in the README of a visualization package though, so without 

further ado:

```{r example}

library(ggforce)

ggplot(iris, aes(Petal.Length, Petal.Width, colour = Species)) +

  geom_point() +

  facet_zoom(x = Species == "versicolor")

```
