<b>tidypaleo</b>: Visualizing Paleoenvironmental Archives Using <b>ggplot2</b>

This paper presents the tidypaleo package for R, which enables high-quality reproducible visualizations of time-stratigraphic multivariate data that is common to several disciplines natural sciences. Rather than introduce new plotting functions, defines orthogonal components ggplot2 that, when combined, enable most types stratigraphic diagrams be created. We do so by conceptualizing multi-parameter as a series measurements (rows) with attributes (columns), enabling use facet mechanism display data. The include (1) scales represent relative abundance and concentration values, (2) geometries are commonly used in paleoenvironmental created elsewhere, (3) facets correctly assign sizes panels representing multiple parameters, (4) theme elements create elegant graphics. Collectively, this approach demonstrates efficacy minimal wrapper domain-specific plots.
