`ggalt` : Extra Geoms, Stats and Coords for `ggplot2`

A package containing additional geoms, coords and stats for the revamped (late 2015) version of ggplot2.

The first two forays into this brave, new `ggplot2` world are *splines*! and being able to use the (much better) `KernSmooth::bkde` for density plots.

*NOTE*

Until the new `ggplot2` version is on CRAN, you'll need to install it from github (see below).

The following functions are implemented:

-   `geom_xspline` : Connect control points/observations with an X-spline
-   `stat_xspline` : Connect control points/observations with an X-spline
-   `geom_bkde` : Display a smooth density estimate (uses `KernSmooth::bkde`)
-   `stat_bkde` : Display a smooth density estimate (uses `KernSmooth::bkde`)

### News

-   Version 0.0.1.9000 released

### Installation

``` r
# you'll want to see the vignettes, trust me
devtools::install_github("hadley/ggplot2", build_vignettes=TRUE)
devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/ggalt")
```

### Usage

``` r
library(ggalt)
#> Loading required package: ggplot2

# current verison
packageVersion("ggalt")
#> [1] '0.0.1.9001'

set.seed(1492)
dat <- data.frame(x=c(1:10, 1:10, 1:10),
                  y=c(sample(15:30, 10), 2*sample(15:30, 10), 3*sample(15:30, 10)),
                  group=factor(c(rep(1, 10), rep(2, 10), rep(3, 10)))
)

ggplot(dat, aes(x, y, group=group, color=group)) +
