ggalt : Extra Coordinate Systems, Geoms, Statistical Transformations, Scales & Fonts for ‘ggplot2’

A compendium of ‘geoms’, ‘coords’, ‘stats’, scales and fonts for ‘ggplot2’, including splines, 1d and 2d densities, univariate average shifted histograms, a new map coordinate system based on the ‘PROJ.4’-library and the ‘StateFace’ open source font ‘ProPublica’.

The following functions are implemented:
