Create ggplot2 Barchart with Rounded Bars in R (Example Code)

In this article you’ll learn how to visualize a ggplot2 barchart with rounded bars using the ggchicklet package in the R programming language.

Creation of Exemplifying Data

data(iris)                            # Example data
iris_aggr <- aggregate(Sepal.Length ~ Species, iris, mean)
iris_aggr
#      Species Sepal.Length
# 1     setosa        5.006
# 2 versicolor        5.936
# 3  virginica        6.588

Example: Bars with Round Corners in ggplot2 Plot Using ggchicklet Package

install.packages("ggplot2")           # Install ggplot2 package
library("ggplot2")                    # Load ggplot2
install.packages("ggchicklet", repos = "https://cinc.rud.is") # Install ggchicklet package
library("ggchicklet")                 # Load ggchicklet package
ggplot(iris_aggr,                     # Bars with round corners
       aes(x = Species,
           y = Sepal.Length)) +
  geom_chicklet(radius = grid::unit(10, "mm"))
