I've been feeling pretty down. When I found #RStats, I kinda fell in love, and decided to become as much of an expeRt as I could be. In the age of AI, that's not a good idea; why make the bots program in a language they don't really understand? #dataBS

ggview is brilliant #rstats #ggplot2

Announcing #RStats package ggcube, now on CRAN -- make 3D #ggplot2 figures using `coord_3d()` matthewkling.github.io/ggcube/

Is there a way to add white around text in #ggplot2 to look like this? #rstats

Here's a fun puzzle: Can anyone guess how this #ggplot2 design hack works to ensure polygons with opacity do not show gridlines within them? #rstats

I'm please to celebrate that legendry 0.3.0 has hit the streets on CRAN 🎉 Legendry is a ggplot2 extension that lets you draw more guides. Read about all the guide goodness in this minor update here: teunbrand.github.io/teunbrand_bl... #rstats #ggplot2

Part 1 of 5: Introducing a complete rethink and rewrite of #ggblanket. The original goal of simplifying no longer made so much sense what with llms. So I refocused it on the design aspect: provide a way to produce consistent publication quality plots with minimal effort. #rstats

What's a safe way to parse a datetime variable? I am reading it in as a character, and then I'm trying this ..

📦 new #rstats package to overlay ggplot2 plots, gt tables, or code snippets onto images, with optional perspective warp and transparency. 🪄powered by magick luisdva.github.io/overlay/

Are namespace collisions really that bad?! People can just use pkg::fun anyway, and this can be helpful for users finding the function that they want #rstats

R 4.6.0 "Because it was There" is set for release on 24 April. @russhyde.bsky.social writes up the more interesting changes — %notin% in base R, neater character column summaries, and more. Full breakdown with code: www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/whats-n... #rstats #datascience #rprogramming

This is beyond mere-mention-important. I've always hated SQL as bloaty, with shades of COBOL; not how I want to ask for analysis or graphics. But, the idea of reformulating #rstats ggplot graphics for SQL with a VISUALIZE verb is quite heady, worth attention. Kudos @thomasp85 👍

I am excited beyond description to lift the veil on what we have been working on in 2026: Please meet ggsql! A new extension of the SQL language for creating visualisations using the grammar of graphics. Read all about it in the blog post or visit the website at ggsql.org

Guy I’m sponsoring very quietly releases #rstats package I’ve been wanting for the last couple of years. pkg.yihui.org/gglite/doc/g... Guess he shut up and took my money. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm guessing the reason excel does this is that classes are determined at the cell, rather than at the column?? #rstats

Some great #rstats hot takes this week. I'm unapologetically pro-tidyverse so pro-tibble by default

I started making this R package 6 years ago. I finally have it in a state I'm happy with, thanks to Claude Code #Rstats github.com/MattCowgill/...

This is my #rstats method for standardising bar widths across different #ggplot2 plots. Seems to work for when the base of the plot is discrete, and that scale expand is not altered. If you have a go with it, let me know if it works github.com/davidhodge93...

#dplyr 1.3.0 wishes: 1). rename filter to filter_in 2). rename case_when to recode_when #rstats

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

dplyr 1.2.0

dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...

Well, I didn't finish my big and breaking #ggblanket update before xmas as hoped :/ The project got kind of massive, as v4 of ggplot2, LLMs and new ideas/experience/skills changed how I thought everything should and could work. Merry christmas to all #ggplot2 #rstats

second CRAN package is up! this is a collection of database utilities to help you create databases, schemas and tables in either @motherduck.com or @duckdb.org I have a few improvements and enhancements planned but happy to get this across the finish line. #rstats

#ggblanket users: I'm going to break this package with a major version update at some point. Things have changed, and I've thought of a new way to acheive what I want. So please use renv etc for any projects using ggblanket. It's too messy & time-consuming for me to bother deprecating, sorry #rstats

Is there any r package out there that blends colours together? I.e. like ggblend but with input and output of hex colours. I have something in the works, but first need to confirm I'm not reinventing the wheel #rstats

Can all countries/people please just use a point decimal seperator? #rstats
