ggstance: Horizontal ggplot2 Components for Backward Compatibility

Lionel Henry created a ggplot2 extension providing horizontal versions of Stats and Geoms, and vertical versions of Positions. The package is now superseded by native ggplot2 support for horizontal layouts. It remains available for backward compatibility.

Use Cases

• Maintain legacy R plotting code based on the horizontal components mentioned in the description.
• Create horizontal bar charts or boxplots using the flipped Geoms described.
• Adjust plot element positioning with the vertical Positions described.

Strengths

• Created by a known developer, Lionel Henry.
• Explicitly maintained for backward compatibility, as stated in the description.

Limitations

• The package is superseded, suggesting it is not the recommended modern solution.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
