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...
