Flow CSV Editor vs ggplot2: What are the differences?
What is Flow CSV Editor? Graphical CSV file editor for timed data. It is a light-weight tool for viewing and editing CSV files locally on your Windows computer. It's primarily designed for timed data such as sensor data and measurement logs, but it can be used with any valid CSV file. The data is presented as line plots rather than in a grid, and zooming, scrolling and rearranging the plots is fast and efficient, also on large data sets.
What is ggplot2? A data visualization package for the statistical programming language R. It is a general scheme for data visualization which breaks up graphs into semantic components such as scales and layers.
Flow CSV Editor and ggplot2 can be primarily classified as "Charting Libraries" tools.
Some of the features offered by Flow CSV Editor are:
- Open any valid CSV file
- Line plot display
- Arrange line plots into cells
On the other hand, ggplot2 provides the following key features:
- Axis titles
- Tickmarks
- Margins and points in ggplot2 look cooler
ggplot2 is an open source tool with 4.65K GitHub stars and 1.68K GitHub forks. Here's a link to ggplot2's open source repository on GitHub.
