What’s New in R: September 16, 2024
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring a tutorial on making musical chords in R, a worthy collection of short R commands and tricks, and a tutorial on adding hillshade effects to your maps. Let’s dive in!

Did you know R could create musical chords? It can! In this post, Matt Crump uses the {toneR} package to make chords. Pretty cool!
A worthy collection of short R commands and tricks
Luke Pembleton describes this post as “a worthy collection of short R commands and tricks.” It’s a motley collection of small tips that can make a big difference. From data viz to data wrangling and more, this post will have something good for you!
Hillshade effects
Adding hillshades is one way to take maps from meh to amazing. Rather than plain maps, you can show mountains as if they have actual depth on your maps. In this blog post from 2022 (but new to me), Dominic Royé shows how to add hillshade effects.
