Rasterly

Easily and rapidly generate raster data in R, even for larger volumes of data, with an aesthetics-based mapping syntax that should be familiar to users of the ggplot2 package.

While rasterly does not attempt to reproduce the full functionality of the Datashader graphics pipeline system for Python, the rasterly API has several core elements in common with that software package. Combined with Plotly.js and the plotly package, rasterly enables analysts to generate interactive figures which are responsive enough to embed into web applications.
