Lab-11: The Queen of Hearts, She Made some Tarts

The Grammar of Diagrams

Introduction

We can use R to create complicated diagrams too ! Flow charts, Gantt charts, Org charts…all with R. We will use packages such as nomnoml and DiagrammeR, also try the language D2 https://d2lang.com to achieve these ends. There is also an R package called bpmnR that allows to create Business Process Model Diagrams https://www.bpmn.org
