patchwork VS echarts4r

patchwork and ggrepel

3 waffle charts, patched together with patchwork https://patchwork.data-imaginist.com/

Here, I developed patchworklib that allows users to arrange subplots dynamically and determine the best layout from the multiple layouts. Patchworklib is inspired by patchwork library for R ggplot2, so it enables designing subplot layouts with only / and | operators.

So, I developed patchworklib inspired by the patchwork library for R. With patchwroklib, after creating individual plots, you can quickly design multiple layouts combining them and select the best one among them.

The author of patchwork offers some justification for the package here compared to other R packages that facilitate the plotting of ggplot objects (e.g., gridExtra, cowplot). The syntax appears to be simpler than creating matrices to specify layouts as in gridExtra, but the examples given on the GitHub page don't really demonstrate how the package deals with the more complex layouts that are possible in gridExtra.

Try the patchwork package which lets you glue graphs together. Amazing stuff!

You can also use Apache Echarts through R with this package: https://echarts4r.john-coene.com/

This might shock you, but open-source software is an open and collaborative effort. If you think that the example with two Y-axes undermines this entire project, you can go to the echarts4r github repository, open a pull request (the website is made via pkgdown), and propose improvements to the documentation. Maybe do something good instead??
