ggforce: Accelerating 'ggplot2'

The aim of 'ggplot2' is to aid in visual data investigations. This focus has led to a lack of facilities for composing specialised plots. 'ggforce' aims to be a collection of mainly new stats and geoms that fills this gap. All additional functionality is aimed to come through the official extension system so using 'ggforce' should be a stable experience. package

rocketData <- data.frame(
  x = c(1, 1, 2, 2),
  y = c(1, 2, 2, 3)
)
rocketData <- do.call(rbind, lapply(seq_len(500) - 1, function(i) {
  rocketData$y <- rocketData$y - c(0, i / 500)
  rocketData$group <- i + 1
  rocketData
}))
rocketData2 <- data.frame(
  x = c(2, 2.25, 2),
  y = c(2, 2.5, 3)
)
rocketData2 <- do.call(rbind, lapply(seq_len(500) - 1, function(i) {
  rocketData2$x[2] <- rocketData2$x[2] - i * 0.25 / 500
  rocketData2$group <- i + 1 + 500
  rocketData2
}))

  x = 2, y = 2, xend = 3, yend = 3, alpha = after_stat(index),
