(This article was first published on <strong><a href="http://blog.danielemaasit.com/2016/07/28/a-gallery-of-ggplot2-extensions/"> R – Emaasit's Blog</a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>
<p>A couple of months ago, I announced the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ggplot2-exts.org/">ggplot2-extensions website</a> which tracks and lists extensions built on top of the popular R visualization package <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://docs.ggplot2.org/current/">ggplot2</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Now, I wanted to make it even easier for R users to filter and search for these extensions and so I have added a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ggplot2-exts.org/gallery/">Gallery page</a>. You can now search packages based on a filter like: if it’s on CRAN; or if  it’s for a particular task e.g. time series, networks, tech, etc.</p>

<p>It’s now easier for R developers to add their extensions to this Gallery. Submit a pull request by following these <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ggplot2-exts/gallery#adding-a-ggplot2-extension">simple instructions</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<blockquote><p>Fork the gallery <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ggplot2-exts/gallery">repository</a> on Github.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<blockquote><p>Create a png thumbnail of an interesting plot from your extension that will look good on a retina screen at 350×300 pixels and put this file in the <code>images</code> directory of <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ggplot2-exts/gallery">the gallery repository</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<blockquote><p>Add an entry for your extension in the <code>_config.yml</code> file of <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ggplot2-exts/gallery">the repository</a> with the meta data for your extension.</p>
