title: 'escheR: Unified multi-dimensional visualizations with Gestalt principles'
version: 1.5.0
doi: 10.1093/bioadv/vbad179
abstract: 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.
