pkg_search() starts a new search query, or shows the details of the
previous query, if called without arguments.
ps() is an alias to pkg_search().
more() retrieves that next page of results for the previous query.
Search query string. If this argument is missing or
NULL, then the results of the last query are printed, in
short and long formats, in turns for successive
pkg_search() calls. If this argument is missing, then all
other arguments are ignored.
Default formatting of the results. short only outputs the name and title of the packages, long also prints the author, last version, full description and URLs. Note that this only affects the default printing, and you can still inspect the full results, even if you specify short here.
Where to start listing the results, for pagination.
The number of results to list.
Object to summarize.
Additional arguments, ignored currently.
Object to print.

#> 1 ggplot2 @ 3.5.2 Thomas Lin Pedersen, 3 days ago
#> -----------------
#> # Create Elegant Data Visualisations Using the Grammar of Graphics
#> A system for 'declaratively' creating graphics, based on "The Grammar
#> of Graphics". You provide the data, tell 'ggplot2' how to map
#> variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it
#> takes care of the details.
#> https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org
#> https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2
#>
#> 2 scales @ 1.3.0 Thomas Lin Pedersen, about a year ago
#> ----------------
#> # Scale Functions for Visualization
#> Graphical scales map data to aesthetics, and provide methods for
#> automatically determining breaks and labels for axes and legends.
#> https://scales.r-lib.org
#> https://github.com/r-lib/scales
#>
#> 3 igraph @ 2.1.4 Kirill Müller, 3 months ago
#> ----------------
#> # Network Analysis and Visualization
#> Routines for simple graphs and network analysis. It can handle large
#> graphs very well and provides functions for generating random and
#> regular graphs, graph visualization, centrality methods and much
#> more.
#> https://r.igraph.org/
#> https://igraph.org/
#> https://igraph.discourse.group/
#>
#> 4 rgl @ 1.3.18 Duncan Murdoch, 15 days ago
#> --------------
#> # 3D Visualization Using OpenGL
#> Provides medium to high level functions for 3D interactive graphics,
#> including functions modelled on base graphics (plot3d(), etc.) as
#> well as functions for constructing representations of geometric
#> objects (cube3d(), etc.). Output may be on screen using OpenGL, or
#> to various standard 3D file formats including WebGL, PLY, OBJ, STL as
#> well as 2D image formats, including PNG, Postscript, SVG, PGF.

#> 5 vdiffr @ 1.0.8 Lionel Henry, 5 months ago
#> ----------------
#> # Visual Regression Testing and Graphical Diffing
#> An extension to the 'testthat' package that makes it easy to add
#> graphical unit tests. It provides a Shiny application to manage the
#> test cases.
#> https://vdiffr.r-lib.org/
#> https://github.com/r-lib/vdiffr
#>
#> 6 DiagrammeR @ 1.0.11 Richard Iannone, about a year ago
#> ---------------------
#> # Graph/Network Visualization
#> Build graph/network structures using functions for stepwise addition
#> and deletion of nodes and edges. Work with data available in tables
#> for bulk addition of nodes, edges, and associated metadata. Use graph
#> selections and traversals to apply changes to specific nodes or
#> edges. A wide selection of graph algorithms allow for the analysis of
#> graphs. Visualize the graphs and take advantage of any aesthetic
#> properties assigned to nodes and edges.

#> 7 corrplot @ 0.95 Taiyun Wei, 6 months ago
#> -----------------
#> # Visualization of a Correlation Matrix
#> Provides a visual exploratory tool on correlation matrix that
#> supports automatic variable reordering to help detect hidden patterns
#> among variables.
#> https://github.com/taiyun/corrplot
#>
#> 8 circlize @ 0.4.16 Zuguang Gu, about a year ago
#> -------------------
#> # Circular Visualization
#> Circular layout is an efficient way for the visualization of huge
#> amounts of information. Here this package provides an implementation
#> of circular layout generation in R as well as an enhancement of
#> available software. The flexibility of the package is based on the
#> usage of low-level graphics functions such that self-defined
#> high-level graphics can be easily implemented by users for specific
#> purposes. Together with the seamless connection between the powerful
#> computational and visual environment in R, it gives users more
#> convenience and freedom to design figures for better understanding
#> complex patterns behind multiple dimensional data. The package is
#> described in Gu et al. 2014 <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btu393>.

#> 9 visNetwork @ 2.1.2 Benoit Thieurmel, 3 years ago
#> --------------------
#> # Network Visualization using 'vis.js' Library
#> Provides an R interface to the 'vis.js' JavaScript charting library.
#> It allows an interactive visualization of networks.
#> https://datastorm-open.github.io/visNetwork/
#>
#> 10 ROCR @ 1.0.11 Felix G.M. Ernst, 5 years ago
#> ----------------
#> # Visualizing the Performance of Scoring Classifiers
#> ROC graphs, sensitivity/specificity curves, lift charts, and
#> precision/recall plots are popular examples of trade-off
#> visualizations for specific pairs of performance measures. ROCR is a
#> flexible tool for creating cutoff-parameterized 2D performance curves
#> by freely combining two from over 25 performance measures (new
#> performance measures can be added using a standard interface). Curves
#> from different cross-validation or bootstrapping runs can be averaged
#> by different methods, and standard deviations, standard errors or box
#> plots can be used to visualize the variability across the runs. The
#> parameterization can be visualized by printing cutoff values at the
#> corresponding curve positions, or by coloring the curve according to
#> cutoff. All components of a performance plot can be quickly adjusted
#> using a flexible parameter dispatching mechanism. Despite its
#> flexibility, ROCR is easy to use, with only three commands and
#> reasonable default values for all optional parameters.
