Did you know, that brown bears can make entire countries happier?

For statistical evidence of that fact, see the animation below

Title slide for our talk at useR entitled "Plot Tiwst:Adding interactivity to the elegance of ggplot2 with ggiraph"

The virtual #user2025 event takes place today — and our talk "Plot Twist: Adding Interactivity to the Elegance of ggplot2 with ggiraph" airs is lined up next! 🎥

Urgh...*searching for soemthing else.

In any case the data is hard to spot in most all of these - and some lines are not straight (but most).

I don't know what the purpose is as I haven't read the report (was searciigj for something else). I guess "show the results" and ss there are multiple graphs like this (with the same y axes), comparison *might* be more important for each of the panel across figures. Or it's more about "trends".

The National's front page as Donald Trump set to arrive in Scotland

Today's front page is a nod towards the US president's upcoming visit to Scotland 👀👇

One of many line graphs in the NASA Mariner-Venus Report from 1962. Due to the rather black and bold and many grid lines, the straight lines that show the results (which are also black) are almost invisible.

Find the data 🧐🤓

Thank you Michael 👐

A basic gauge chart made with ggplot2 + coord_radial() A basic gauge chart made with ggplot2 + coord_radial() - basic-gauge-ggplot.R

And here is a gist with the code for that basic version as not all of it is visible in the screenshot:

Screenshot of the gauge chart, along with the code in our interactive in-browser sandbox in the coordinate lesson of our course "ggplot2 uncharted".

The version in our online "ggplot2 [un]charted" workshop to illustrate how to create partial radial plots with #ggplot2 — part of the lesson "Coordinate Systems: Setting the Stage for Your Plot"

www.ggplot2-uncharted.com/module1/coor...

Last week, I crafted my first-ever gauge chart 🏎️ to showcase partial radial plots for our #ggplot2 [un]charted lesson on "coordinate systems"

Thanks to coord_radial(), partial circles like those are super easy now — and of course I couldn’t resist making a polished and animated version 💅📽️ #rstats

Thank you so much, both of you!! 💙

ggplot + ggiraph in action ⚡

I teamed up with @cedricscherer.com to put together a fun ggiraph talk for useR conf this year. Of course I had to show an example inspired by him!

Stay tuned for behind the scenes how-tos, tricks, and code. Excited to share more info when the talk is live!

Oh, didn't know they changed the official English name in 2022! Thanks 😊

A collage of a decluttered, colorful bar chart and two reworked version — one with ranked vertical bars, all with the same weight, and a cleaner theme direct labels. and a more descriptive title, and the other with a key message highlighting the 7th ranked urban area Berlin in both the title, and the chart itself.

Two redesigns of the cluttered bar chart on Europe’s largest urban areas 📊

Two reworked variants — same data, different goals:
show the data vs. tell a story.

Decluttering, refocusing, adding context, and using visual emphasis can turn a chart into insight.

A retro-vibe bar chart with many colors and a grey theme with too many labels, grid lines, and font styles, rotated labels, a superfluous legend and more.

It's always fun to create bad charts for workshops 🤪

A similar slide is featured in an upcoming talk with @tanyashapiro.bsky.social — stay tuned if you're curious!

Why do we 💙 #ggplot2?

Yes, it's for the Grammar!

But also for the passionate and supportive community — and their steady contributions to the ggplot2 universe: all the extension packages 🧩 that take its impressive flexibility even further, making it more powerful and beautiful 🙌
#rstats #tidyverse

I wasn't aware of other similar examples, so thanks for the nudge!

I guess you're referring to Smith & Van der Walt? (btw, the link in your list is broken) Unfortunately, the R package is often used as the primary reference 😟 (... good for me as I am listed as a contributor 😶‍🌫️)

Give it a try! It might be confusing in many cases but could work - as often, also depend on the data and their pattern.

Oh, just saw the comment that it might be for reasons of evaluation or comparison. Then that's a different story. Anyone else should be careful though.
