It's tomorrow!

We’ve released two new tidymodels #rstats packages for feature selection: filter and important. tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

I spent a bit of time this weekend updating my #Quarto listing for talks and workshops 🤗 Check it out here: ivelasq.rbind.io/talk Many thanks to Meghan Hall for sharing the template and CSS code! 💜

This is next week! A fun discussion about ggpal2 & chores. I think the coolest part is you should leave understanding how to create your own chore with little to no code. If you're new to AI or want a low-barrier way to create an assistant with R, chores is a great place to start.

📣🚨 Very much looking forward to hearing from @frankiethull.bsky.social about the intersection of coded data viz and AI assistants! 👀🚀 Join us Tuesday Dec 2nd, at 3pm Eastern to hear about {ggpal2}, a {chores} extension. #ggplot2 #ai #chores bit.ly/RxAI-join

Tomorrow!

📣📊 Join us at the #ggplot2 extenders meeting to hear from the GGally story -- inspirations, motivations, challenges -- from its remarkable author and maintainer Barret Schloerke! 🤩This Wednesday at 1:30 ET!

ggiraph is also what I used to make the first plot in this post! www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/10...

Is there a data viz principle that motivates deleting an axis title and adding info to axis labels? (looks good, is good?) One way to go about this in #ggplot2: 1) write my_fun that adds context to the maximum value for your labels 2) use that function in `scale_y_continuous(label = my_fun)`

Who are the #ggplot2 extenders? Here are some super-extenders (folks with 4 or more extension packages on CRAN). And a growing number -- highlighted -- have presented at the ggplot2 extenders meetup!

'ggplot2: A layered grammar of graphics' ggplot(data = cars) + aes(x = speed, y = dist) + geom_point() + geom_smooth() + theme_bw() How many layers would you say are used to define the above plot? #ggplot2 #rstats #opensource #dataviz

New visualization tool alert! The vayr package version 1.0.0 is now on CRAN. It contains position adjustments for ggplot2 that help with overplotting in pleasing ways. My favorite is position_sunflower(). - install.packages("vayr") - alexandercoppock.com/vayr #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

API is still under 🚧 but feeling more fluid than tidyplots iteration...! 📜📈📊😮‍💨 #ggplot2 github.com/EvaMaeRey/gg...

We're three weeks out from the 'plotnine' meeting at the #ggplot2 extenders group - 'A Grammar of Graphics for Python'! 📊📈🐍 Interested in joining? ggplot2-extenders.github.io/ggplot-extension-club/ 'Please leave your contact info...'
