This is not a smart or even serious take

Right next to the JCPOA guys, DEI may be the most vindicated thing in America. These guys get rid of DEI and immediately *instantly* every position of authority is flooded by a wave of talentless hack mediocrities, each one more corrupt and venal than the last.

Redoing some ggplot2 examples. Car mpg with geom_smooth() and "classic/pencil".

The US economy 1967-2000. #rstats #ggplot #rtistry

And this is experimental/hard_blot; the second one uses scale_fill_viridis with option="F" and colours reversed.

Really I'm interested in what you can do with graphs and presentation of data. Here's old faithful eruptions, from the geom_contour_filled() example: mypaint_wrap( geom_contour_filled(), brush = "Dieterle/Fan#1" )

Dieterle/Blender #rstats #rtistry

And tweaking the colours a bit

This is deevad/sponge_smudging #rstats #rtistry

Just a spiral and deevad/blending brush #rstats #rtistry

Just doodling #Rtistry #rstats mypaint_device("tmp.png", bg = "grey") plot.new() plot.window(c(-6, 6), c(-6, 6)) set_brush("tanda/acrylic-05-paint") ...

One more from the classic graphs vignette. Annual flow of the Nile. The wet lines effect is got by set_brush("classic/ink_blot"); set_hand(human_hand(pressure = 0.6, pressure_taper = 0.6)) lines(years, flow, col = "#075079", lwd = 3) #rstats #rtistry

one more #rtistry #rstats

Codex vibecoding like a boss with mypaintr

OK, here it is hughjonesd.github.io/mypaintr/art...

One more #Rstats #ggplot2

It doesn't always go right #rstats #ggplot2

Some violin plots #Rstats #ggplot2

But if you don't want your grid lines to be too crazy #Rstats #ggplot2

Better #ggplot #Rstats

A classic ggplot... #Rstats #ggplot background needs work

Shading lines which respect the outline roughness: #Rstats

And now what if we put them together #Rstats Haha yeah well it's not yet perfefct

And here's a rough rectangle with shading lines #Rstats

And here it is with the experimental/bubble brush #Rstats

And another. This is VADeaths. #Rstats
