Kyle Walker: “Lots of new features landing in R's mapgl package as it approaches an 0.5.0 release. Today's drop:

- An interactive color ramp picker for your legends
- Native bivariate choropleth mapping”

The new version of the terra package is now available on CRAN! It includes several notable new features:
- tool for parallelize functions on a raster: `tile_apply()`,
- smooth blending between overlapping rasters: `mosaic(fun = "blend")`,
- hexagonal and rectangular grids: `tessellate()`,
- custom CRS transformation pipelines in `project()`,
- and fixes for many long-standing issues!

Sharing #Philippines beauty via my latest package {palettephines} on CRAN. These palettes anchor to BBCH & Reef Health standards.

3 years in public office taught me that viz must be both statistically and culturally relevant to my people.

Not a replacement for LISA/Moran’s I in EDA, but a domain-specific layer.
