#ggplot2 adventures, an #rstats tale

It's Day 10 of the #30DayMapChallenge and for the "air" prompt, I decided to look at air quality data before and after Bonfire Night in the UK 🎇

For the "accessibility" prompt on day 7 of the #30DayMapChallenge, I decided to investigate how accessible the default #ggplot2 colours are to people with different types of colour vision deficiency (and for different numbers of colours used). 🎨

TLDR: please choose a different, accessible palette

#Rstats problems: Did you ever think that the dots for dotted lines are a bit too far apart per default? TIL that it's super easy to change this.

In #ggplot2, simply try something like:

scale_linetype_manual(
values = c(a = "dotted", b = "11")
)

The '11' means: 1 point for a dot, 1 point for a gap. Find out more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25788945/how-to-define-more-line-types-for-graphs-in-r-custom-linetype

Dear @zimoun , thank you for such a rich meeting and sharing your experience with #ReproducibleResearch and #guix for this #tem25 thesis . :)

#orgmode Babel (blocks of code calling anything integrated with the text and images) are great for #LiteraryProgramming and reprod. research.

Also, thank you for your mention of #ggplot2 that @ansate nailed too a little later. :)

Thanks also to @bzg too. 🙏

Re #PeerGovernance, I'd be delighted to share my experience with the guix community anytime.

The {ggbot2} #RStats 📦 launches a chatbot you can speak to in plain language, and it can write ggplot2 R code and display the dataviz.
Plus: The {shinyrealtime} #RStats 📦 has a demo voice app that generates #dataviz code in both R and #Python

Wow, setting default labels for your data in #rstats using "label" attributes is a good idea. I'd never heard of this before, but I'm glad that #ggplot2 is now supporting it. Manually specifying axis labels was a bit tedious.

I do like that if you transform the data, the default label is not applied (see the sqrt(body_mass) variable in the first figure here).

I had the pleasure of curating this week's #TidyTuesday data about Scottish Munros ⛰️ So the chart just had to be an annotated, snow-capped, density mountain! 📊
