[R] ggplot2 error bars and convex hulls

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

As for convex hulls, there is an example of how to construct a stat_hull in

vignette("extending-ggplot2", package = "ggplot2")

There is also a geom_hull in a GitHub package:

devtools::install_github("cmartin/ggConvexHull")


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
