Welcome! – Styling documents using Quarto extensions

I have a training course on building your own simple Quarto extension and the resources are online: nrennie.rbind.io/training-qua...

And a couple of blog posts on making extensions with templates for PDF styling (either Typst or LaTeX): nrennie.rbind.io/blog/pdf-qua...

Did you know you can tell the history of an iceberg based on its shape?

1: A jagged berg means the ice has likely never been underwater
2: A diagonal ridge, the iceberg has likely rolled
3: Rounded surfaces mean the top was underwater at one point

Same. A lot. My target is a meeting place between your templates and a script that makes a codebook:

One of my all time favorite illustrations 🤩

One scientist talking to two others. "These days. If you're not a mad scientist, you're not paying attention."

Me. I'm a mad scientist.

🚀 dashboardr is out!

An #rstats package for building interactive dashboards with tidyverse-style syntax.

Launched with a fun hackathon at @ascor.bsky.social (🍕 included).

Big thanks to the dashboardr team, Digicomlab, and @vivifabrien.bsky.social for the logo 🎨

Accidentally saved my sandbox exploratory file as sadbox.R

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

This is my favourite illustration from the newts series

What would you call an octopus with fins as big as an elephant's ears?! 🐙

If you said "Dumbo," you think like a scientist! Found as deep as 13,000 feet, this deep sea octopus flaps and drifts like a parachute to sneak up on prey, swallowing it whole!

We visualize the Olympic medal count as Norwegian-style scarf. :) 📊
Check out how Germany looks like and generate your own scarf – including download of the knitting pattern.

No wayyyyyyy 🤩

A proper baptism 🤎

This is adorable!

With a little bit of work on the R side (also doable in Python and Julia), you can get a pretty awesome theming result with brand.yml, Quarto, ggplot2

They all live together!

Don't let down your figures (or tables), they deserve better.

A spider on a branch covered in moss and lichens, but it really just looks like a patch of moss, because most of it is flush against the branch.

The ultimate camouflage is when, even when you know it's there, it's still hard to see it.

Witness the wrap-around spiders of genus Dolophones, native to Australia, who have perfected the art of BEING the tree.

There are 17 species, each specializing in a particular disguise.

Agreed. Thanks for sharing!

I’m looking for a review paper on different gps tracking methods and tech for wildlife. If you published such review or know of a paper discussing this topic please let me know ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️🌎

Good to know. Mysteries beckon.

Poor guy. It’s a good thing he hasn’t seen this alt text!

I usually slap on print(n = 100) to see more rows. It pains me to write those 7 characters inside the call, so I’ve wondered if the number of rows can be configured in the mysterious user settings. I haven’t looked, because mysterious.
