Yes, that did the trick! Thank you!

my_header <- paste0("Ham", "burger")

tt(dat) |> group_tt(
j = list(
my_header = 1:3,
"Halloumi" = 4:5,
"Tofu" = 7))

results in a label spanning column 1, 2 and 3 named "my_header" instead of the desired "Hamburger".
Is there a way to have a spanning label resulting from code?

Hi @vincentab.bsky.social , a question. Is it possible to use an R expression as a label spanning columns in tt:group_tt? So that in example below "Hamburgers" is resulting from an R expression?

tt(dat) |> group_tt(
j = list(
"Hamburgers" = 1:3,
"Halloumi" = 4:5,
"Tofu" = 7))

An LLM that never hallucinates There are two big errors we can make with information, but one often gets forgotten

Want a large language model that never hallucinates? Easy: just get it to always print “I don’t know”, regardless of the input.

If you find this solution is a bit unsatisfying, you’re not alone. But it hits on a crucial trade-off with learning machines and decision-making more generally.

New post:

library(tinytable) dData <- data.frame(one = c(1,1), two = c(2,2), three = c(3,3)) dData |> tt(theme = "void") |> group_tt(j = list("no" = 1, "yes" = 2:3)) |> style_tt( line = "tblr", line_width = 0.01, # doesnot show line_color = "red" ) dData |> tt(theme = "void") |> group_tt(j = list("no" = 1, "yes" = 2:3)) |> style_tt( line = "tblr", line_width = 0.1, # does show line_color = "red" )

Thanks. I did try that, see the screenshot with code making it as alt-text. With line_width of 0.1 it is OK, with line_width of 0.01 there is grey to be seen, despite having set theme = "void". Is there something else I can do to get a very thin colored line?

A question; you write about how to format text in grouped columns: vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/vi...
But how can I style the borders? I can't find the way to colorize the border between the row with colnames and the added row with group names. Do you maybe have a suggestion?

This will (hopefully :) ) make table polishing in #quarto #rstats #typst so much more easy: #tinytable in vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/vi...

My workaround is making separate plots, and then combine them with {patchwork} with a plot_spacer() for the empty slots.

Interesting! Indeed I did learn some new things:) First one I will probably use is `update_geom_defaults()`. Thank you!

This is nice! I got it working, just as you said on github.com/EmilHvitfeld.... But I do not see the "Saved Moved Elements" like you mention in 'Once you are happy with the sizes, open the menu (M), go to tools, and click "Save Moved Elements".' Any suggestions? Thanks

Anyone an idea where I can find the source code of ardata.fr/ggiraph-book/ ? The github link on the website is dead. #ggplot2 #rstats #ggiraph. Thanks!

Statistical Transformations | ggplot2 Uncharted ggplot2 layers apply statistical transformations to data before plotting. Customizing these using the stat argument and stat_*() layers enables flexible, advanced visualizations.

#rstats #ggplot Revelation of the day: `geom_*()` and `stat_*()` are wrappers for `layer() ` with respectively a fixed geom or stat argument. Now `stat_*()` suddenly feels less complex. Thank you @cedricscherer.com and @yan-holtz.bsky.social for making www.ggplot2-uncharted.com

The page displays the linkate hexagonal logo on the left sidebar and demonstrates different types of links (Basic Links, Reference-Style Links, Mixed Link Types) in the main content area. At the bottom, a "Links" section shows a bulleted list containing all URLs automatically collected from throughout the document, including links to Quarto, GitHub, CRAN, R Project, Python, and other resources.

I guess that means you are starting with your most favorite food? It is a bit sad when working on version 20, probably in not a too happy mood since it is version 20 already, that you are also confronted with a name of a not so favorite food. I wish you a lot of really favorite foods & few versionnr
