wishlist feature requests

On this page are listed some wish-lists for ggplot2.

New geoms

• using rasterGrob as an alternative to geom_tile for regular colormaps

• using a custom grob function that draws a shape with color, fill, size arguments (think Chernoff faces, or TeachingDemos::my.symbols())

general infrastructure

• should themes affect the default colour and fill scales? (e.g. a black and white theme could set the default scales to grey)

• a new kind of geom limited to the use with annotate(), for grobs that are not meant to be mapped to x, y, size, etc. (examples: image annotation, table annotation, etc.)

• specification of the panel sizes in absolute units, so as to allow alignment between different plots using grid

facets

• ability to specify independently the limits, tick marks, and labels of each panel

New stats

• stack vertically multiple spectra or time series so as to avoid overlap between individual lines

Visual aspect

• more options to change the x and y axis parameters independently (grid lines, tick length, etc.)

Themes

Integration with other graphic packages

• facilitate navigation to viewports and use of native units

• allow switching off clipping to move graphical elements outside the plotting region

New plot types

New scales
