for CorelDRAW X7 is a specialized suite of VBA macros designed for "security printing," which involves creating high-complexity vector graphics that are extremely difficult to counterfeit. It is most commonly used for designing certificates, banknotes, and high-security identification documents.

The integration of SecuriDesign with CorelDRAW X7 specifically highlights the versatility of the X7 platform. CorelDRAW has long been the preferred software for vector illustration in the printing industry, and X7 offered a robust architecture for plugins to build upon. By utilizing SecuriDesign within X7, designers can combine the standard vector tools of CorelDRAW—such as power clip, transparency, and color management—with advanced security elements. This synergy allows for the production of documents that are not only secure but also visually branded and professionally finished.

Universities and training centers use Securidesign to generate unique, color-shifting backgrounds. Each diploma can have a different serial number and a custom guilloche pattern corresponding to the year of issue.

A world of geom

ggplot2 builds charts through layers using geom_ functions. Here is a list of the different available geoms. Click one to see an example using it.

geom_bar geom_bin geom_boxplot geom_density geom_error geom_hex geom_hist geom_hline geom_jitter geom_label geom_line geom_point geom_polygon geom_rect geom_ribbon geom_rug geom_segment geom_smooth geom_text geom_tile geom_violin geom_vline
Annotation with ggplot2

Annotation is a key step in data visualization. It allows to highlight the main message of the chart, turning a messy figure in an insightful medium. ggplot2 offers many function for this purpose, allowing to add all sorts of text and shapes.





Marginal plot

Marginal plots are not natively supported by ggplot2, but their realisation is straightforward thanks to the ggExtra library as illustrated in graph #277.





ggplot2 chart appearance

The theme() function of ggplot2 allows to customize the chart appearance. It controls 3 main types of components:

Re-ordering with ggplot2

When working with categorical variables (= factors), a common struggle is to manage the order of entities on the plot.

Post #267 is dedicated to reordering. It describes 3 different way to arrange groups in a ggplot2 chart:

ggplot2 title

The ggtitle() function allows to add a title to the chart. The following post will guide you through its usage, showing how to control title main features: position, font, color, text and more.





Use custom fonts with ggplot2

If you don't want your plot to look like any others, you'll definitely be interested in using custom fonts for your title and labels! This is totally possible thanks to 2 main packages: ragg and showtext. The blog-post below should help you using any font in minutes.





Small multiples: facet_wrap() and facet_grid()

Small multiples is a very powerful dataviz technique. It split the chart window in many small similar charts: each represents a specific group of a categorical variable. The following post describes the main use cases using facet_wrap() and facet_grid() and should get you started quickly.

A set of pre-built themes

It is possible to customize any part of a ggplot2 chart thanks to the theme() function. Fortunately, heaps of pre-built themes are available, allowing to get a good style with one more line of code only. Here is a glimpse of the available themes. See code
