Description
The tidyverse is a collection of R packages for data science sharing an underlying design philosophy and data structures similar to RDataFrame. ggplot is the graphics library component of the tidyverse, implementing the concepts behind The Grammar of Graphics. ggplot allows to express our analysis in a declarative, layered, functional way, closely related to the programming model behind RDataFrame.
We compare several ggplot2 visualizations with their current approximate implementation in ROOT and viceversa, showcasing how ROOT's programming model would benefit from an approach similar to the one adopted by ggplot2, a perfect fit for the new programming paradigm introduced by RDataFrame.
