🚩 Our poster, "An Inventory of Spatial Machine Learning Packages in R" was presented at #FOSSGIS2025 in Münster.🚩
It compares caret, mlr3, and tidymodels for spatial ML and highlights other relevant R packages.

I found a great excuse to make a bunch of fun ggplots. As if I needed one.
{rectpacker} now on CRAN!
An #RStats pkg for "optimally" packing rectangles into a box
https://cran.r-project.org/package=rectpacker
My use case: I needed to pack multiple graphics sprites into a single image without any overlap or too much wasted space.
Uses STB's rect pack library
Rectangle packing is a packing problem where rectangles are placed into a larger rectangular region (without overlapping) in order to maximise the use space. Rectangles are packed using the skyline heuristic as discussed in Lijun et al (2011) 'A Skyline-Based Heuristic for the 2D Rectangular Strip Packing Problem' <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2F978-3-642-21827-9_29" target="_top">doi:10.1007/978-3-642-21827-9_29</a>>. A function is also included for determining a good small-sized box for containing a given set of rectangles.
BBC's Visual and Data Journalism Cookbook for R Graphics and their {bbplot} #RStats 📦are useful resources for making publication-quality graphics in
