Esquisse Package
Esquisse Package
The esquisse package is helpful for getting used to creating plots in R.
It is an interactive tool to help you in RStudio.
It’s super nifty!
Starting a plot
Using the esquisser() function you can start creating a plot for a data.frame or tibble. That’s it!

Find code
To select variables you can drag and drop variables to the respective axis that you would like the variable to be plotted on.
Change plot type
esquisse automatically assumes a plot type, but you might want to change this.
Add Facets
Facets create multiple plots based on the different values of a variable.
Add size
Sometimes it is useful to change the way points are plotted so that size represents a variable. This can especially be helpful if you need your plot to be black and white.
Add color
For plots with points use the color region to change coloring according to a variable. (use “fill” for bar plots)
Appearance
You can change the overall appearance with the appearance tab.
Smooth Lines
Especially when you have a scatter plot, it can be helpful to add a smooth/trend line.
Change titles
To change titles on your plot, use the titles tab.
Summary
- Use the
esquisser()function on a dataset - Code from Esquisse can copied into code chunks to be generated in the “Plots” pane
