@kernpanik Usually, I also try to stick to base #rstats or lightweight packages (#tinyplot, #tinytable, #rdatatable, ...). Methinks, since most tutorial promote the tidyverse, some do not know base equivalent. However, base data frame operations may require more careful handling of row order, factor levels, and preserving the data frame structure. dplyr maintains a consistent behavior across grouped operations.

No no, the plot type itself is totally fine. I'm just confused that you invoke plot() and get something that I would expect from #tinyplot or ggplot2.

🚨 The #tinyplot pkg for #rstats #dataviz now also has support for barplots (in the R-universe version).

Grouping and faceting can be done using tinyplot's formula-based syntax.

Example: Frequencies of penguin species by island, stacked by sex. (Code in alt text).

@lwpembleton I just came across your post. I took it as inspiration to achieve sth similar with base #Rstats and #tinyplot

There is one small issue that I could not solve instantly with the Cylinder as a factor. Therefore, this `Cylinders <- as.factor(mtcars$cyl)` hack. Maybe @gmcd or @zeileis has a quick suggestion?

#rdatatable is a pleasure to work with. Sometimes mind bending (why does it not work? 🤔 … ahh, lists 🤦‍♂️)
but most of the time great.

I use it in combination with #tinyplot. I had situations where my code got faster and shorter by doing this.

Enjoy

Christmal special for the R base plot folks:

take a look at the latest #tinyplot developments.

@gmcd et al. have a nice tool for you.

I just used #tinyplot again. What a pleasure. What a smooth tool.
