PLOTCON 2017: Thomas Lin Pedersen, ggraph: A grammar of graphics for relational data

The visualisation framework ggplot2 has been successful in both liberating and educating researchers and analysts in the craft of data visualisation. While highly flexible, ggplot2 is confined to tabular data and thus leaves out the large set of relational data visualisations such as node-link diagrams, hive plots, treemaps and dendrograms. The ggraph package fills this hole by extending ggplot2 to work with relational data and provides a large feature set for users so they can quickly experiment and iterate towards a powerful visualisation of their relational data. This talk will provide a description of the new grammar of graphics introduced with ggraph as well as give an overview of the features and possibilities of the package. Biography After graduating from Technical University of Denmark with a PhD in Bioinformatics, Thomas is now data scientist at the Danish Tax Authorities where he focuses on developing tools and visualisations. In the spare time Thomas is a serial R package developer with well over a dozen released packages. Much of his development work is focused on the ggplot2 ecosystem, either as a contributor to the ggplot2 package itself, or through one of his own packages extending the framework, such as ggforce and and ggraph.
