What’s New in R: July 8, 2024
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring a tutorial to make a solar eclipse, a package to make paint-by-number drawings, and a cheatsheet to help you remember best practices in R. Let’s dive in!
Simple Solar Eclipse in R
Has it ever occurred to you to make a solar eclipse in ggplot? Well, ok, me neither, but the fact that you can is really cool. Check out this tutorial from Esther Weidauer to learn more!
{paintr} package
I’m really stretching the definition of “new” but I recently came across the {paintr} package, developed by CJ Holmes. It lets you turn images into the paint-by-number drawings you may remember from your childhood.
Best Practice for R :: Cheat Sheet
You may know the Posit Cheatsheets. They offer quick reminders of common functions in some of the most common packages. This cheatsheet, made by Jacob Scott, is different. It’s got tips on best practices (think: file names, creating reproducible examples, etc).
