I love this hex sticker! (Also glad for this group and @ivelasq3.bsky.social 's scrollytelling!)

I wrote a lil post on the amazing work that @ginareynolds.bsky.social does championing ggplot2 extension developers and teaching others to build their own! The post features the Scrollytelling Quarto extension and the group's cute #RStats hex 🐱: rworks.dev/posts/ggplot...

Just finished my first #rstats #TidyDevDay! It might have been a net negative on open issues, because I: * opened an issue each in {pak}, {roxygen2}, and {gitcreds} * submitted a PR to {forcats} * submitted a PR to {usethis} (needs corrected test) But at least I got this selfie with @hadley.nz 🫠😆

Woah! It seems that this release unraveled some of the more perplexing mysteries in {ggplot2}. I'm teaching my "Practical R Programming" course again this Fall (finishing a September term iteration tomorrow)... I can't wait to write up an updated set of notes!

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

@grrrck.xyz I finally implemented {ggcheck} in my early {ggplot2} assignment autograders (in past 2 weeks, even!) Do you/a colleague know how this will impact {ggcheck}? Seems like there's some backwards compatibility currently built in, but Teun noted in post that will eventually be phased out.

My favorite part is the default LaTeX font making it into a ggplot. Who needs tikz when you can use ggdiagram? If it can output to .svg well, you even get vectorized graphics.

Now on CRAN, ggdiagram is a #ggplot2 extension that draws diagrams programmatically in #Rstats. Allows for precise control in how objects, labels, and equations are placed in relation to each other. wjschne.github.io/ggdiagram/ar...

You are up to date.
