ggalign: A 'ggplot2' Extension for Composable Visualization

A 'ggplot2' extension providing an integrative framework for composable visualization, enabling the creation of complex multi-plot layouts such as insets, circular arrangements, and multi-panel compositions. Built on the grammar of graphics, it offers tools to align, stack, and nest plots, simplifying the construction of richly annotated figures for high-dimensional data contexts—such as genomics, transcriptomics, and microbiome studies—by making it easy to link related plots, overlay clustering results, or highlight shared patterns.
