      3 This package contains functions which provide a range of axis labeling algorithms, most notably the "extended" algorithm described in Talbot et al.'s [An Extension of Wilkinson’s Algorithm for Positioning Tick Labels on Axes](http://vis.stanford.edu/files/2010-TickLabels-InfoVis.pdf). They are used in [ggplot2](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/), through the [scales](https://scales.r-lib.org/) package.
