esquisse is an RStudio add-in that lets users interactively build ggplot2 visualizations through a drag-and-drop interface. It supports bar plots, curves, scatter plots, histograms, boxplots, and sf objects, and can export graphs or generate the reproducible R code.

Use cases

• create ggplot2 charts without writing code
• interactively explore a data frame with plots
• generate R code for a plot built visually
• make histograms and boxplots quickly in RStudio
• build scatter plots by dragging variables onto aesthetics
• export a finished chart from an interactive builder

When to choose

• you use R/RStudio and want a GUI for ggplot2
• you're learning ggplot2 and want to see generated code
• you need quick exploratory data visualization
• you want multilingual UI support for a plotting tool

When to avoid

• you need fully programmatic, scripted plotting pipelines
• you don't use R or RStudio
• you need chart types ggplot2/esquisse doesn't support
• you want a standalone web BI dashboard tool
