Just learned about the scale_x_date() function. Very useful to plot the number of medal events by day. This week's tidy tuesday data comes from the current Milana Cortina Winter Olympics 2026. code: joe.fyi/articles/tid... #tidytuesday #rstats

This is a better screen recording of my #rstats shiny prototype. Still very much a work in progress...

I'm playing with a prototype of an #rstats shiny app that can add, save, and load modules.

For this week's tidy tuesday, I made a plain table in gt. I've been trying to get to know more about gt and explore how to customize the theme. Code: joe.fyi/tidy/2024-10-31 #RStats #DataViz #StatsSky

For this week's TidyTuesday, I made a plot of Top 10 countries by geographical size. I learned about slice_max recently and got to try it out. #rstats #ggplot2

alt_text = "A bar chart displaying the top ten countries by geographical size, with the following areas in millions of square kilometers: Russia (17.1), Canada (9.9), United States (9.8), China (9.6), Brazil (8.5), Australia (7.7), India (3.3), Argentina (2.8), Kazakhstan (2.7), and Algeria (2.4)."

#30DayChartChallenge Day 3: Makeover I tried to make a stacked bar chart again, but with multiple categories to display survey data. code: www.theschoolofdata.com/courses/002/...

#30DayChartChallenge Day 2: Neo I interpreted neo with a neo-minimalist twist. I used the good-old mtcars dataset, but with a clean, fresh, modern look inspired by x.com/ImSh4yy/stat... code: www.theschoolofdata.com/courses/002/... #rstats #ggplot2

title: zen and the art of neo-minimalist mtcars plots
subtitle: old data, new look
three vertical bar charts
hp (avg) 147; weight (avg) 3.2; displacement (avg) 231.

I wrote another new guide on how to make stacked bar charts that help to illustrate part-to-whole relationships. #30DayChartChallenge Day 1: part-to-whole #rstats #ggplot2 www.theschoolofdata.com/courses/002/...

Stacked bar chart

Title: "We sold more apples than bananas"
Subtitle: "This is a stacked bar chart illustrating part-to-whole"

Apple: 70%; Banana: 30%

I'm thinking of creating a short guide to create plots like this. It's simple to do, but requires tweaking the defaults in ggplot2. Is anyone interested? I'll add a few design principles along the way to create this boring, but interesting, simple, and effective plot. #rstats #ggplot2

A bar plot with 4 groups on the y axis and their values on the x axis.

Group A 3
Group B 12
Group C 5
Group D 18

Title: "Use a simple conversational title to communicate the big picture"
Subtitle = "Use a slightly technical subtitle to talk about the values in the x and y axis",
Caption = "Note: This idea of writing better text is from Datawrapper. https://blog.datawrapper.de/text-in-data-visualizations
