Description: The creation of effective visualizations is a fundamental
        component of data analysis. In biomedical research, new
        challenges are emerging to visualize multi-dimensional data in
        a 2D space, but current data visualization tools have limited
        capabilities. To address this problem, we leverage Gestalt
        principles to improve the design and interpretability of
        multi-dimensional data in 2D data visualizations, layering
        aesthetics to display multiple variables. The proposed
        visualization can be applied to spatially-resolved
        transcriptomics data, but also broadly to data visualized in 2D
        space, such as embedding visualizations. We provide this open
        source R package escheR, which is built off of the
        state-of-the-art ggplot2 visualization framework and can be
        seamlessly integrated into genomics toolboxes and workflows.
