R/iGraph Holiday network animation and How-to tips
The animation embedded in this post was done using R and the iGraph package and was, frankly, a great deal more work than I thought it would be when I started. What kept me going was a desire to express a wish for the New Year while also experimenting with some functionality that might be
2D MODPATH particle tracking animations with R and ImageMagick
The PMPATH particle tracking output, with a file format similar to the pathline output mode of MODPATH (see above), can be transformed easily into a GIF animation using R and ImageMagick (see below for a simple example).First of all, you...
Political revolutions on Twitter, visualized with R
Twitter has become a powerful medium for organizing and communicating with factions during popular uprisings: the crisis in Egypt, the uprising in Syria, the revolution in Iran, and other conflicts all around the world. Twitter's effectiveness relies on its ability for the various factions to self-organize and to fight the information battle in social media. Esteban Moro Egido, a...
2012-11 Generating Animation Sequence Descriptions
This report describes the animaker package for generating descriptions of animation sequences. An animation sequence is composed by combining atomic animations in series to create sequence animations or in parallel to create track animations. Functions are provided for manipulating animation … Continue reading →
The tools in an R package developer’s toolbox
Yihui Xie is the creator of several popular R packages, including knitr, animation and cranvas. In an interview with The Setup, he shares some of the software and hardware he uses in his data-to-day work, including (of course) R: For programming and data analysis, I primarily use R since I'm a statistician. I have created a bunch of R...
How to: network animation with R and the iGraph package & Meaning in data viz
This article lists the steps I take to create a network animation in R, provides some example source code that you can copy and modify for your own work, and starts a discussion about programming and visualization as an interpretive approach in research. Before I start, take a look at this network animation created with
Applications open for 2013 John M Chambers Statistical Software Award
In 1998, John Chambers won the ACM Software Systems award for the S language, which the ACM heralded as having "forever altered how people analyze, visualize, and manipulate data". The R language is "not unlike S", and John continues pushing the frontiers of statistical computing as a member of the R Core Group. Ang his legacy continues in another...
Fast Conway’s game of life in R
Here I demonstrate a simple way to code Conway's game of life (GoL) in R and to produce the animation above. Cellular automata in R are usually painfully slow if you iterate through all grid cells in an array. A … Continue reading →
Successive Differences of a Randomly-Generated Timeseries
I was wondering about the null distribution of successive differences of random sequences, and decided to do some numerical experiments. I quickly realized that successive differences equates to taking successively higher-order numerical derivatives, ...
