Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited support for less common statistical packages

   ggfortify primarily supports widely used R packages, leaving out niche or specialized statistical tools.

2. 02

   Depends heavily on ggplot2's capabilities and limitations

   Any limitations in ggplot2 (such as performance issues with very large datasets) directly impact ggfortify's effectiveness.

3. 03

   Documentation can be sparse for specific use cases

   While there are examples and vignettes, detailed documentation for every possible statistical plot is lacking.

4. 04

   Community support may not be extensive due to niche focus

   As a specialized tool, the community around ggfortify might not be as large or active compared to more general-purpose libraries.

What it does well

• Unified interface for ggplot2 and popular R packages.

• Simplified plotting of statistical results.

• Enhanced visualization capabilities.
