Quotes of the Week

My approach to figure-making in #ggplot ALWAYS begins with sketching out what I want the final product to look like. It feels a bit analog but helps me determine which #geom or #theme I need, what arrangement will look best, & what illustrations/images will spice it up. #rstats pic.twitter.com/GUjeEgqZxj

#rstats Rmarkdown tip:

Include a "reproducibility receipt" at the bottom of your docs. When someone contacts you about it in the future you'll be able to quickly lay hands on the code, and get some clues if you can't reproduce it.

1/6 ‼️NEW PACKAGE! And it's awesome. Introducing {shadr}: Write and execute GLSL shaders directly in #rstats!

Here we run the shader "Seascape" by Alexander Alekseev to generate a beautiful realistic 3D water scene, entirely via R. #shadr
