Line plot with facets showing how the indicator has changed over time in the highlight_countries, within regions or income groups (facets)

We use the super cool gghighlight::gghighlight package to disentangle the spaghetti plot and highlight selected countries in each facet

plot_time_facets_wdi(
  indicator = "SI.POV.GINI",
  highlight_countries = c("Colombia", "Germany"),
  facets = region,
  start = lubridate::year(Sys.Date()) - 10,
  end = lubridate::year(Sys.Date() - months(18)),
  country = "all",
  regions = default_regions(),
  income_groups = default_income_groups(),
  p = 1
)

Arguments

indicator

character of length 1 with the indicator code

highlight_countries

character vector with country names to highlight

facets

variable to use for facets. Either region or income

start

first year to download data

end

last year to download data

country

subset of countries to download data from. Default to "all". This argument is passed as is to WDI::WDI and hence, requires 'ISO-2 character codes, e.g. "BR", "US", "CA"'.

regions

character vector to filter the data only to specific regions

income_groups

character vector to filter the data only to specific income groups

p

Transformation exponent, <U+03BB>, as in scales::modulus_trans

Value

ggplot object
