Introduction


The #TidyTuesday weekly challenge is organised by the R4DS (R for Data Science) Online Learning Community.

Every tuesday throughout the year, participants work on a common dataset and share the plots they create.

The dataset for this challenge comes from Wikipedia articles.


Getting the data


First of all, let’s load the packages we’ll be using :

If you don’t have these packages installed, simply use the install.packages() function.

# Load the packages
library(tidyverse)
library(showtext)
library(patchwork)


We also load the fonts we will use in the plots: Bebas Neue for the text and Londrina Shadow for the title.

# Import the fonts
font_add_google("Bebas Neue", "Bebas Neue")
font_add_google("Londrina Shadow", "Londrina Shadow")
showtext_auto()


We can now download the dataset :

# Download the dataset
sauces <- read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2023/2023-08-08/sauces.csv')


The dataset has 210 observations (rows) and 4 variables (columns).

Each row represents one sauce used in the show.

The 4 variables are:

  • The season number (1 to 21)

  • The sauce number (1 to 10, ordered from the least hot to the hottest)

  • The sauce name

  • The Scoville score (sauce rating in Scoville heat units)


Cleaning the data


We use the following code to clean the data:

# Data cleaning and prep - Sauces per season ----

# Scoville scale
scoville_scale <- tibble(
  evaluation = c("01-Neutral", "02-Sweet", "03-Warm", "04-Spicy",
                 "05-Hot", "06-Strong", "07-Raging", "08-Burning",
                 "09-Torrid", "10-Volcanic", "11-Explosive"))

# Count number of sauces for each Scoville scale range per season
sauces_count <- sauces |>
  # Create categories for scoville scores
  mutate(evaluation = case_when(scoville < 100 ~ "01-Neutral",
                                between(scoville, 100, 499) ~ "02-Sweet",
                                between(scoville, 500, 999) ~ "03-Warm",
                                between(scoville, 1000, 1499) ~ "04-Spicy",
                                between(scoville, 1500, 2499) ~ "05-Hot",
                                between(scoville, 2500, 4999) ~ "06-Strong",
                                between(scoville, 5000, 14999) ~ "07-Raging",
                                between(scoville, 15000, 29999) ~ "08-Burning",
                                between(scoville, 30000, 49999) ~ "09-Torrid",
                                between(scoville, 50000, 99999) ~ "10-Volcanic",
                                scoville >= 100000 ~ "11-Explosive")) |>
  # Count number of occurences per season and evaluation
  count(season, evaluation) |>
  # Add full Scoville scale
  right_join(scoville_scale) |>
  # Add non-existing scoville categories and fill empty cells with 0
  complete(season, evaluation, fill = list(n = 0)) |>
  # Remove NAs
  filter(!is.na(season))

# p1 - Background
p1_bg <- scoville_scale |>
  # Coordinates for rectangles
  mutate(x1 = 0, x2 = 4, x3 = 46,
         y1 = seq(0, 20, 2), y2 = seq(2, 22, 2)) |>
  # Split evaluation column into grade + evaluation
  separate(evaluation, into = c("grade", "evaluation"))

# p1 - Grid
p1_grid <- tibble(x0 = seq(4, 46, 2),
                  x1 = x0,
                  y0 = 0,
                  y1 = 22)

# p1 - Sauce count
p1_count <- sauces_count |>
  # Split evaluation column into grade + evaluation
  separate(evaluation, into = c("grade", "evaluation")) |>
  # Add coordinates
  mutate(y = rep(seq(1, 21, 2), times = 21)) |>
  # Order by grade and season
  arrange(grade, season) |>
  # Add coordinates
  mutate(x = rep(seq(5, 45, 2), times = 11)) |>
  # Remove empty rows
  filter(n != 0)

# p1 - Axis y text
p1_y_labels <- tibble(x = -0.5,
                      y = seq(2, 20, 2),
                      score = c("100", "500", "1,000", "1,500", "2,500", "5,000",
                                "15,000", "30,000", "50,000", "100,000"))

# Data cleaning and prep - Total score per season ----

# p2 - scores
p2_scores <- sauces |>
  # Calculate cumulative Scoville score for all 10 sauces per season
  summarise(total = sum(scoville), .by = season) |>
  # Add coordinates + round to thousands of units
  mutate(x = seq(5, 45, 2),
         total_thsd = plyr::round_any(total, 1000) / 1000)

# p2 - x axis labels
p2_x_labels <- tibble(x = c(2, seq(5, 45, 2)),
                      y = 3800,
                      label = c("Season #", 1:21))

# p2 - text
p2_text <- tibble(x = -0.95,
                  y = c(2600, 2200, 1800, 1400),
                  label = c("Overall Scoville",
                            "heat score for all",
                            "10 sauces (in 1,000s",
                            "of units)"))


Creating the plot


First we create a vector with custom colours:

custom_cols <- c("Neutral" = "#86ff00",
                 "Sweet" = "#bcff00",
                 "Warm" = "#ddfa00",
                 "Spicy" = "#edeb00",
                 "Hot" = "#eecb00",
                 "Strong" = "#ffbf03",
                 "Raging" = "#ff9000",
                 "Burning" = "#ff6100",
                 "Torrid" = "#fe3000",
                 "Volcanic" = "#ee0000",
                 "Explosive" = "#790200")


We then create the first plot:

# Create plot - p1 ----

p1 <- ggplot() +
  geom_rect(data = p1_bg,
            aes(xmin = x1, xmax = x2, ymin = y1, ymax = y2,
                fill = evaluation),
            show.legend = FALSE) +
  geom_rect(data = p1_bg,
            aes(xmin = x2, xmax = x3, ymin = y1, ymax = y2,
                fill = evaluation),
            alpha = 0.5, show.legend = FALSE) +
  geom_segment(data = p1_grid,
               aes(x = x0, xend = x1, y = y0, yend = y1)) +
  geom_text(data = p1_bg,
            aes(x = 2, y = y1 + 1, label = evaluation),
            colour = "black", family = "Bebas Neue", size = 14) +
  geom_text(data = p1_count,
            aes(x = x, y = y, label = n),
            colour = "white", family = "Bebas Neue", size = 14) +
  geom_text(data = p1_y_labels,
            aes(x = x, y = y, label = score),
            size = 12, hjust = 1, colour = "white") +
  geom_text(aes(x = 2, y = 23.5, label = "Scoville scale"),
            family = "Bebas Neue", size = 16, hjust = 0.5, colour = "white") +
  scale_fill_manual(values = custom_cols) +
  xlim(-1, 46) +
  labs(title = "Number of sauces used") +
  theme_void() +
  theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "black"),
        plot.background = element_rect(fill = "black"),
        plot.title = element_text(family = "Bebas Neue", colour = "white",
                                  size = 60, hjust = 0.5, margin = margin(t = 20)))


We now create the second plot:

# Create plot - p2 ----

p2 <- ggplot() +
  geom_rect(data = p2_scores,
             aes(xmin = x - 0.85, xmax = x + 0.85,
                 ymin = 0, ymax = total_thsd),
            fill = "#edeb00") +
  geom_text(data = p2_scores,
            aes(x = x, y = total_thsd - 160, label = total_thsd),
            family = "Bebas Neue", colour = "black", size = 18) +
  geom_text(data = p2_x_labels,
            aes(x = x, y = y, label = label),
            family = "Bebas Neue", colour = "white", size = 18) +
  geom_text(data = p2_text,
            aes(x = x, y = y, label = label),
            family = "Bebas Neue", colour = "white", size = 20,
            hjust = 0) +
  xlim(-1, 46) +
  theme_void() +
  theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "black"),
        plot.background = element_rect(fill = "black"))


We use the {patchwork} package to assemble the plots:

# Assemble plots
p <- p1 / p2 +
  plot_annotation(title = "Hot Ones",
                  caption = "#TidyTuesday 2023 week 32 | Data from Wikipedia | Jonathan Kitt",
                  theme = theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "black", colour = "black"),
                                plot.background = element_rect(fill = "black", colour = "black"),
                                plot.title = element_text(family = "Londrina Shadow",
                                                          size = 125, hjust = 0.5,
                                                          colour = "#edeb00",
                                                          margin = margin(t = 10)),
                                plot.caption = element_text(size = 20, colour = "white", hjust = 0.5)))

# Export plot

ggsave("figs/tt_2023_w32_hot_ones.png", p, dpi = 320, width = 12, height = 6)
