Zoe Meers, Robert Hickman, Thomas J. Leeper · The Journal of Open Source Software · 2019
ggparliament is a R (R Core Team, 2018) package for visualizing legislative chambers.It allows for easy visualization of the party composition of a legislative body or for plotting election results using syntax from the tidyverse, a set of packages for cleaning, modelling, and visualizing data (Wickham, 2017).The package is one of the first ggplot2 (Wickham, 2016) extensions for visualizing political data.It is considerably more detailed than most visualization tools for graphing legislatures in that it is designed to handle many different legislatures irrespective of size, number of parties, or characteristics of legislatures.Legislature visualizations are also known as parliament plots or parliament charts.
