I’m giving a talk at R-Ladies Abuja next week 💜 💙

We’ll dive into #ggplot2 tricks from our "ggplot2 uncharted" class — focusing on both #dataviz best practices and advanced #coding 💪

Hieran habe ich seit langem gearbeitet: Ein Dashboard zu den Verspätungen & Ausfällen bei der #Bahn. Das entsprechende #OpenData veröffentlicht das Unternehmen in Echtzeit. Auf Mastodon gibt es täglich Infos unter @verspaetung – das Dashboard findet sich unter https://verspaetung.net

I just opted out of a workshop opportunity with a heavy heart. But I learned it's a collaboration with DataCamp.

A friendly reminder that you likely don't want to support this type of company due to their history: https://dnlmc.medium.com/dont-use-datacamp-ef04adcf1b7f

There are soooo many other options that value you, the communities, and the course instructors!

"Vibe Coding" the old-school way 🌈

I was prepping a ggplot2 lesson when a stat_summary() error went sideways. Instead of fixing it, I leaned in.

Sometimes the best dataviz is found in the detours.
(Or at least, the most joy on a Monday ☕️)

The version in our online "ggplot2 [un]charted" workshop to illustrate how to create partial radial plots with #ggplot2 — part of the lesson "Coordinate Systems: Setting the Stage for Your Plot"

https://www.ggplot2-uncharted.com/module1/coordinates

Last week, I crafted my first-ever gauge chart 🏎️ to showcase partial radial plots for our #ggplot2 [un]charted lesson on "coordinate systems".

Thanks to coord_radial(), partial circles like those are super easy now — and of course I couldn’t resist making a polished and animated version 💅📽️

Working on the latest lesson for our interactive online workshop "ggplot2 [un]charted", I let loose a bit...

The sections ended up fun — yes, and maybe a bit silly at times 🤡

My personal highlight:
our very own #aesthetics anthem as a memorable mnemonic to recall the most important — and likely most frustrating — concept of #ggplot2 ✨🎶✨

New lesson out now 👉 https://www.ggplot2-uncharted.com/module1/aesthetics-caveats

#BayernMunich played their 2.000 #Bundesliga match last weekend! 🎊

The stats are incredible:

⚽ Among the 10 teams with the most matches, they won the most and lost the fewest—in both absolute and relative numbers!

⚽ In those 2.000 Bundesliga matches, Bayern scored at least five goals in 200 of them (10%), but most often conceded only one or even no goal—and 4+ goals only in 71 matches (3.6%).

All #dataviz'es created in
#rstats with
#ggplot2 and the help of ggtext and a few others.

For 25% of surveyed men in the #UK, the point of Valentine's Day is to "get laid" according to a survey from 2015.

More than the half of women responded "show how much you care"—22 percentage points more than men!

Happy Valentine's Day ❤️

Made in #rstats with #ggplot2 💙

✅ 📈 The first workshop of 2024 is done! Always a pleasure to teach about #dataviz and #storytelling principles and reproducible yet elegant communication…
