Developing your data visualisation skills in ggplot2, Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 6:00 PM | Meetup In this session, we'll be working through the process of developing a visualisation in ggplot2. We'll start with a brand new dataset and create some exploratory plots; sket

🎨 Event Alert: Enhance your ggplot2 Data Visualization Skills! 📅 Join expert Nicola Rennie, author of “The Art of Visualization with ggplot2.” Learn to craft effective R visuals from exploring data to polishing charts. 🗓️ RSVP here: www.meetup.com/rladies-rome... #DataViz #RStats

I'll be running a free, online workshop at @rinpharma.bsky.social on Nov 3rd!

If you've never built an #RStats package before, or if you want to learn some tips to make better packages, come along to build a package together! 📦

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Vincent stands in front of a slide showing the syntax of a tiny table code snippet.

Last but very definitely not least in the #useR2025 ⚡️talks: @vincentab.bsky.social showing us the power of {tinytable}!

IMHO: {gt} is king for fancy reproducible html tables, but {tinytable} should be the go-to for quick formatting and other file formats.

Graph showing % threatened vertebrate species. Dark circles show the best estimate for % threatened and the light colored bar shows the range from lower estimate to upper estimate.

IUCN Red List data on species threatened with extinction

Made using #rstats with helpful tips from Albert Rapp on using symbols in the subtitle instead of a legend

The horizon plot shows the total hours of sunlight per day for several locations. Sunlight per day varies greatly closer to the poles, where days can have 0 hours to 24 hours of sunlight. Near the equator, the days have around 12 hours of sunlight all year. The brighter areas have more daily sunlight and the darker areas have less.

Day 22 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Stars 🌟

Daily hours of sunlight ☀️ for places at different latitudes

Made with #rstats {ggHoriPlot} for the horizon plot and {cowplot} to assemble the pieces

Yes just one time point, which is maybe not the best choice for a stripe plot but it was the data I had.

Taxonomy of Coneflower. Image has 3 flowers where each center is a genus and the petals are species.

Day 14 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Kinship

Taxonomic relationship of Missouri native coneflowers

This started out as a quick flowchart in #Rstats until I realized that playing around with coord_polar would make my chart look like an actual coneflower.

Plot showing height vs spread of Missouri native plants. The clusters of points show the different plant types (flowers, grasses, shrubs, vines, and trees).

Day 13 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Clusters

Looking at the heights vs spread of Missouri native plants 🌿

I tried out using #rstats {ggh4x} and {cowplot} packages to fill the empty facet with text.

Stripe plot of heights of Missouri native flowers. Each stripe represents a different Missouri native yellow flower, where darker yellow stripes are taller flowers and lighter yellow stripes are shorter flowers.

Day 11 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Stripes

Heights of Missouri native yellow flowers

Plot: Histogram of heights of Missouri Native Plants
