Tried it today for the first time and... I whole-heartedly recommend it! Easy to tinker with, saves at 300 DPI by default... It does the job of 3-4 packages I used to need. I had two faceting variables, so split_plot () didn't quite work, but I add_ed some ggplot2 code and voilà! #tidyplots #Rstats
This is how you can generate a multiplot layout including statistics in #tidyplots 🤩

Name the tune! All done with #rstats + #ggplot2 🤓
I finally got round to exploring using grid::linearGradient()!
Here's the code: gist.github.com/cararthompso...
P.S. There was some controversy in my family about the tune, but this version looked nicer 😊

yeah, most of the time i have the environment pane open or the files plane, unless i am plotting something :)
my latest tip is using `browseURL()` to open anything (not only the browser... for example browseURL(".") will open the current working directory with the file explorer.

Had not realized that R (>=4.0, per StackOverflow) provides selective function loading. Nice way to avoid naming conflicts.
Instead of barfing a package's entire namespace into your environment when you don't need to:
library(stringr, include.only = c("str_extract", "str_remove"))
