bixverse.plots package

r_package bixverse.plots status badge CI License: MIT pkgdown

Intro

This package contains a lot of additional plotting helpers for the bixverse package. It combines especially well with "0.5.x" versions of bixverse as it supports all of the new single cell functionality. The idea is to not overload the parent package, as this one has already A LOT of code in it.

Release notes

Official release of the package with 0.2.4. In this version, we have introduced a huge number of plotting helpers for single cell, please refer to this vignette here for more details.

The gene set enrichment side has vignettes of its own: GSEA (fgsea and blitzGSEA) and over-representation.

Installation

r-universe gives you a pre-built binary of both this package and bixverse, so no Rust toolchain and no compile:

install.packages(
  "bixverse.plots",
  repos = c("https://gregorlueg.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org")
)

Building from source needs Rust, because bixverse does. Check the bixverse README for that set-up. Keep the r-universe repo in the list either way:

options(repos = c("https://gregorlueg.r-universe.dev", getOption("repos")))
devtools::install_github("https://github.com/GregorLueg/bixverse.plots")

Aim

Provide additional plotting capabilities to bixverse.
