TidierPlots is a reimplementation of R's ggplot2 in julia. While still in development, it supports many of ggplot's main features, including most geoms, scales, themes, labels, facetting, and patchwork-style grid layouts. Since Makie.jl is used to generate the plots, both fully interactive plotting for notebooks and publication-quality PDF output are supported with no change in syntax.
