2

This is just something thats been bugging me since I started learning R.

What does the naming convention stand for in the package ggplot2? reshape2 is described here reshape vs. reshape2 in R. Basically, there originally was a base package reshape that has been improved and the latest iteration is reshape2,

but why the 2 in ggplot2?

  • I am totally unsure about that, but I thought there was a `ggplot` package, which was completely rewritten afterwards. To underline incompatibility between these packages, `2` was added. – tonytonov Feb 19 '14 at 07:50

For the same reason. Check this tweet by ggplot2's author: https://twitter.com/hadleywickham/status/424286541704216576
