The goal of sunburst is to simplify generation of sunburst plots in R. These plots are particularly useful for visualising the relative frequency of elements in a heirarchical ontology.

For example, microbial composition of a microbiome sample, or composition of cancer types in a large cohort.

Installation

You can install the development version of sunburst like so:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("selkamand/sunburst")

Usage

For general usage see general usage

To visualise microbial composition see microbial sunbursts vignette
