title: 'ggspec: Extract and Compare ''ggplot2'' Plot Specifications as Tidy Data Frames'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Inspects 'ggplot' objects by extracting their full declarative specification
  - layers, aesthetic mappings, scales, facets, coordinate systems, and labels - as
  tidy data frames. A second tier of functions enables structural comparison of two
  'ggplot' objects, supporting automated plot testing, auditing, and framework-agnostic
  grading workflows. Unlike 'ggcheck', which is designed exclusively for 'learnr'/'gradethis'
  pipelines and returns ad-hoc objects, 'ggspec' returns rectangular, pipeable output
  and does not require any grading framework as a dependency.
