A beeswarm plot, also known as a swarmplot, is a graph type
that presents individual data points without overlap, creating a
distinct "swarming" effect reminiscent of a bee swarm.
In this
section, we present various examples implemented using R and the
beeswarm and ggbeeswarm packages.
beeswarm package.This simple-to-use package allows to build beeswarm plots in R with just one or two lines of code.
It is a great choice for simple and quick visualizations. The
package is available on CRAN, so you can install it with
install.packages("beeswarm").
ggbeeswarm package.This package is a ggplot2 extension that allows to build beeswarm plots directly from the ggplot2 package.
It is a great choice for highly customized visualizations since
it allows us to use the
ggplot2 syntax and features. The
package is available on CRAN, so you can install it with
install.packages("ggbeeswarm").
