A bar mark that counts rows per category: the count stat, used when no y is supplied.

Every building in Berlin

536,700 building footprints from OpenStreetMap, assembled into polygons and drawn with mark_sf(). The streets are the gaps.

Boxplots and violins

Two views of the same grouped distribution: a boxplot and a violin, side by side.

Choropleth map

An sf object drawn directly with mark_sf() and a proper map projection via coord_sf().

Composing plots

Composition

Arrange several independent plots into one figure with a patchwork-style design string.

Correlation matrix

Heatmaps

A heatmap of a correlation matrix drawn with tile marks and a diverging fill scale.

Coxcomb (polar bars)

Polar

Bars mapped into polar space: a Nightingale-style coxcomb via coord_polar().

Linked views with crosstalk

Interactive

One SharedData, four coordinated views: brush a plot to highlight the others, and filter inputs cross-filter them all. Client-side, no Shiny.

Cyberpunk dashboard

Composition

Effects

Four neon panels composed into one dark dashboard with a design string, glowing lines, and a gradient area fill.

Neon glow and gradient fill

Effects

A high-contrast cyberpunk theme with a glowing line and a gradient area fill.

The US Census, all 306 million points

Datashading the full 2010 US Census (population density and an additive per-race composite), reproducing the classic datashader example.

Datashading a million points

Aggregate-then-shade rendering that stays fast and legible at a million points.

Density curve

A kernel density estimate as a filled area, with an adjustable bandwidth.

Faceting

Composition

Small multiples: one panel per level of a grouping variable with facet_wrap().

OpenStreetMap Germany, two ways

The tagged points of interest, then all 436 million nodes in the country, aggregated in DuckDB so they fit in memory. On a warm earth palette.

Hexagonal binning

Heatmaps

Twenty thousand points binned into hexagons, shaded by count with a perceptual palette.

Interactive widget

Interactive

Any vellumplot becomes a client-side interactive widget with as_widget(): hover, select, brush, and zoom.

Layered marks: points and a smooth

Two marks over the same data: a scatter and a linear smooth with a confidence band.

Lollipop chart

A lollipop built from primitives: a segment mark for the stems and a point mark for the heads.

Marginal distributions

add_marginal() draws the x and y distributions along the panel edges, aligned to the scatter. Density or histogram, pooled or split by group.

Network diagram

Networks

A node-link diagram from an igraph graph, laid out with a stress layout.

The paint model

Backend

Gradients, tiling patterns, masks, group opacity, and blend modes, drawn straight from vellum grobs with no grammar in sight.

Paint model, meet the grammar

Backend

The same gradient fills and blend modes from the paint-model page, dropped straight into a vellumplot chart through mark aesthetics.

Pie and donut

Polar

The same category counts as a pie and as a donut, with a configurable hole.

Rich text labels with md()

Text

Markdown markup in titles and axis names: bold, italic, superscript, and subscript via md().

Scatter with a continuous colour legend

A point mark encoding a third variable to colour, with a trained continuous scale and guide.

Hand-drawn sketch style

Effects

A Rough.js-style hand-drawn rendering, applied per mark or as a whole theme.

632 million map points, one continent

Every OpenStreetMap node in South America, datashaded. 632M points aggregated to 8.4M grid cells in DuckDB before R sees them, so the render fits in memory without losing…
