llamar

A customized R package to create reproducible plots, primarily with the ggplot2 package. Designed for analysis of international development data, some functions are highly specialized for the analysis and visualization of household-level surveys. Others are more broadly extendable.

Installation

Installation requires the devtools package.
Install devtools by running install.packages('devtools') at the console.

Then install the llamar library:
library('devtools')
install_github('flaneuse/llamar')
library('llamar')

Then you're all set to use the library. Functions with example outputs are provided below. Full documentation is available within the package; type ?llamar::plot_coef at the console.

Visualization Functions

plot_avg_dot : calculate average and create a dot plot
plot_coef : plot regression coefficients
plot_dot (dot) : create a dot plot or lollipop plot
plot_dot (lollipop) : create a dot plot or lollipop plot
