R tool for automated creation of ggplots. Examines one, two, or three variables and creates, based on their characteristics, a scatter, violin, box, bar, density, hex or spine plot, or a heat map. Also automates handling of observation weights, log-scaling of axes, reordering of factor levels, and overlays of smoothing curves and median lines.
