Using plot arithmetic functions with :: syntax?

[petzi53]

Thank you for the wonderful package!

My question: Is there a way to work with the plot arithmetic functions without loading and attaching the package via library()? I am referring to the <package name>::<function> syntax.

Can you give an example? Like code that works with calling library first so we could try to provide the alternative without it?

I think you can use patchwork:::"-.ggplot"(p1, p2).

For example:

patchwork:::"-.ggplot"(
  ggplot(iris)+geom_point(aes(Petal.Length,Petal.Width)),
  ggplot(iris)+geom_point(aes(Sepal.Length,Sepal.Width))
)

Available functions:

operator	function
+	ggplot2:::"+.gg"()
-	patchwork:::"-.ggplot"()
|	patchwork:::"|.ggplot"()
/	patchwork:::"/.ggplot"()
*	patchwork:::"*.gg"()
&	patchwork:::"&.gg"()

@Fan-iX Thank you, that answers my question in all details! (I didn't anticipate that there would be different function calls for the different operators.)
