Quick Start
# Generate a 3x4 rectangular puzzle
result <- generate_puzzle(
type = "rectangular",
grid = c(3, 4),
size = c(300, 400),
seed = 42,
fill_palette = "viridis"
)
render_puzzle_preview(result)Gallery Preview
ggplot2 Integration
Map data to puzzle pieces for creative data visualization:
# Create data
data <- data.frame(
region = 1:7,
value = c(23, 45, 12, 67, 34, 89, 56)
)
# Visualize with puzzle pieces
ggplot(data) +
geom_puzzle_hex(
aes(fill = value),
rings = 2,
seed = 123
) +
scale_fill_viridis_c(
name = "Value",
option = "plasma"
) +
coord_fixed() +
theme_minimal() +
labs(title = "Data as Puzzle Pieces")
PILES Notation
Powerful piece fusion with intuitive syntax:
# Merge center with ring 1
result <- generate_puzzle(
type = "hexagonal",
grid = c(3),
size = c(200),
fusion_groups = "center-ring1"
)
# Custom fusion groups
result <- generate_puzzle(
type = "rectangular",
grid = c(3, 4),
size = c(300, 400),
fusion_groups = "1-2-3,7-8-9,10-11-12"
