## Objective

ggblanket is a package of ggplot2 wrapper functions for
publication-quality visualisation. It seeks to support well-designed
visualisation, while aligning as much as possible with ggplot2 and
tidyverse conventions.

## Installation

Install from CRAN, or development version from
[GitHub](https://github.com/).

``` r
install.packages("ggblanket") 
pak::pak("davidhodge931/ggblanket")
```

## Example

``` r
library(ggblanket2)
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

set_blanket()

iris |>
  gg_point(
    x = Sepal.Width,
    y = Sepal.Length,
    fill = Species,
    shape = Species,
  )
```

``` r
ggplot2::economics_long |>
  gg_area(
    x = date,
    y = value01,
    facet_wrap = variable,
  )
```

## How it works

Use the `gg_*()` wrapper functions to:

- Plot a ggplot and geom layer in a single function
- Map aesthetic and facet variables as bare names
- Get `colour` and `colour_*` arguments inherited from `fill` and
  `fill_*` arguments
- Change scale arguments easily with prefixed arguments
- If lower x/y scale limit is zero, get default scale expansion of
  `ggplot2::expansion(c(0, 0.5))`
- Annotate outside the panel easier with `coord_clip = "off"` default
- Access to other arguments within relevant `geom_*` function via `...`
- Get global `set_blanket()` setting defaults.

Use the global setup function, `set_blanket()`, to:

- Adjust the global theme
- Adjust the global option for how themes are to be refined based on
  plot scale types etc
- Adjust the global theme `fill`, `colour`, `linewidth`, `shape`,
  `linetype`, `size`, `stroke`
- Adjust the global theme `fill_palette`, `colour_palette`,
  `shape_palette` and `linetype_palette`
- Adjust the global option for `colour_border`, which is a function to
  transform the `colour` and `colour_palette` with input of the `fill`
  and `fill_palette` respectively
- Adjust the global option for `fill_border`, which is a function to
  transform the `fill` and `fill_palette` with input of the `colour` and
  `colour_palette` respectively
