If you missed today's @rinpharma.bsky.social workshop, here are a few of my favourite "quick fixes" for some common #ggplot2 issues 📊
1. Use {ggview} to preview plots at the same size and resolution as you want to save them with ggsave() to avoid the annoying resizing

!["It's probably the toughest press conference [Clarke will] submit himself to in any given year," says Jonathan Trichter, founder of the Autism Transit Project, which arranges the meeting with Metro's head. The organization, founded in 2022, also works with Metro on having kids who are on the spectrum make boarding and safety announcements-you may have heard
them the last few years during April, in honor of Autism Acceptance Month. WMATA says the announcements are a way of recognizing "the special bond children with autism often have with mass transit systems." In Washington and other cities with significant rail systems, this affinity is pretty well known: Fixed routes and schedules can appeal to autistic minds, and Trichter says the feats of engineering that most of us take for granted can
spark intense interest and passion from kids with the condition. Elliott D'Amore is one of them. The eight-year-old—who says the transit-fan and autistic communities are "the same thing, practically"-was in a Metro station one day with his mother, Meredith, when they heard an announcement from an autistic kid. "I think I cried on
that day, because I was wondering how I could do that," Elliott says. His mom got in touch with Trichter. The following year, Elliott's voice could be heard over Metro's loudspeakers. His message, reminding riders about priority seating for seniors and disabled people, begins: "Hi, my name is Elliott and I am a big fan of public transit. I am
autistic, which I promise you is amazing."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vyl2i7k2fuk7lbnmlxh3vof/bafkreiboedmxtr2tokixhnpdcqldsqco7x2hrebsszp2thg7i4c2iqi5zq)
