The last session, taught by Jeremy, was in Fall 2017 and the videos were released early January 2018. Their approach is top down by showing different applications first...
Introduction This is the 17th post in the series Elegant Data Visualization with ggplot2. In the previous post, we learnt how to modify the legend of plot when size is mapped to continuous variable. In this post, we will learn to modify the following using scale_alpha_continuous() when alpha or transparency is mapped to variables: title breaks limits range labels values Libraries, Code & Data We will use the following libraries in this...
I am happy to introduce oneliner, a package that implements the one-line-style as a third-party style guide ready to use with styler. Hence, after the tidyverse style guide, this is the first third-party style guide for styler I am aware of - and a particularly useful one. Let’s see an example # remotes::install_github("lorenzwalthert/oneliner") library(oneliner) style_text( "sum
I suddenly got bit by a bug to learn about network analysis. So I recalled the Correlates of War Project having a dataset about alliances. I decided to revisit them and download the data for this new project, which you can do too. To start small, I decided to visualize a certain topic, e.g., European Defense Treaties relating to World...
NOTE: This write-up picks up where the previous one left off. All of the session data is carried over. Color Similarity Now, I’d like to evaluate color similarity more closely. To help verify any quantitative deductions with some intuition, I’ll consider only a single league for this–the NBA, the league that I know the best. Because I’ll end up plotting team names at some point and...

Shortcodes are simple snippets inside your content files calling built-in or custom templates. This short post is a shout-out for the blogdown::shortcode() function. Example(s) of blogdown::shortcode() can be found in blogdown book. To learn more about shortcodes visit https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/. Shortcodes make it super easy to embed content in blog posts. Lets say we have a video we want to embed...
In the last months, I started increasingly using Rmd documents for preparing scientific reports, blog posts, etcetera. While I really like the flexibility offered by the system, one thing that I thought could be improved is the support for easily inserting tables. So, “inspired” also by the recent addition of the excellent insert image addin in blogdown, I decided...
