Transforming Coordinate Space in ggplot2: A Custom Solution
Transforming Coordinate Space in ggplot: A Custom Solution Introduction The coord_trans() function in ggplot2 allows for coordinate transformations, such as log scales or linear scaling, to be applied to a plot. However, these transformations are limited to single-axis transformations. In this blog post, we will explore a custom solution for transforming both x and y coordinates using a shear transformation. Background on Coordinate Transformations In the context of graphics, coordinate systems determine how data points are mapped onto a 2D surface.
