Agreed! View() is super helpful for this too.
I just like the convenience of everything printing in the console rather than opening up another window, so I tend to use the print() trick more often than the View() trick myself

Printing a data frame (tibble) in the R console, where 3 columns are hidden

The output of df |> print(width = Inf) which prints all columns of a data frame (tibble) in the R console

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you want to look at all columns of a tibble (which has the somewhat annoying habit of only showing you as many columns as you have space for), just pipe it into print(width = Inf):

df |> print(width = Inf)

If you're teaching R, or statistics, and you want your students to get more practice of data wrangling with "messy" data, you can use the {messy} package to turn the clean data you currently use for examples into more realistic looking data!

Making things "pretty" has never been where I find the most joy in data work. So, I'm super excited about @posit.co 's {brand.yml} framework for adding unified styling across Quarto, Shiny, and more at minimal effort 🤩

Am I bad at R if I don't even understand the question?

A few things I've been working on lately:

elmer, elmer.tidyverse.org, is a new package to make it easier to work with LLMs (hosted and local) from #rstats. It includes helps for structured data extraction and tool calling, and an easy way to upload a plot. Joint work with Joe Cheng.

Some news: I've just open-sourced the draft of a book I'm working on about how #rstats tidymodels users can make their code run faster without sacrificing predictive performance!

library(ggplot2) mtcars_labelled <- mtcars attr(mtcars_labelled$mpg, "label") <- "Miles per gallon" attr(mtcars_labelled$disp, "label") <- "Displacement" attr(mtcars_labelled$drat, "label") <- "Rear axle ratio" mtcars_labelled |> ggplot(aes(mpg, disp)) + geom_point(aes(colour = drat))

ggplot figure showing "Miles per gallon" on x-axis, "Displacement" on y-axis, and "Rear axle ratio" on legend.

y'all probably know i ❤️labelled data. the dev version of {ggplot2} has a new feature that automatically applies variable labels when plotting 😍✨ thank you @teunbrand.bsky.social!!! 🙏 #rstats

I always figured it was just a shortening "for categoricals", I never realised it was an anagram!

Check out the new `pastum` extension for Positron (and VS Code I guess)—it's {datapasta} for Positron! It works with both R (base R, tibble, and data.frame) and Python (pandas and polars) github.com/atsyplenkov/... #rstats #python

Hello world 👋

(This is how you're supposed to start with any new programming language/social media platform, right?)
