I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`.
It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

So far I really like ggplot2 4.0.0 a lot, but the color blending with ink/paper means you can end up with too little contrast in your axis text.
Luckily, you can easily detect this with {colorspace} to prevent accessibility issues. see blog for more info

ggplot2 4.0 Ink and Paper: Don’t Forget about Axis Text Contrast — Alex Kraieski
ggplot2 4.0.0 has introduced some very useful improvements to themes, but there's at least one color blending and accessibility pitfall you'll want to avoid.

Just saw my profile among the list of contributors to ggplot2 4.0.0 - that is a project I want to be affiliated with for sure. Pretty sure it's just for a ticket I opened. It was resolved within a record two days or something, too. The beauty of a well-running free and open-source software project.

Months ago, I reported an issue in ggplot2 (github.com/tidyverse/gg...). Glad to know that this issue was corrected in v4.0.0, and what a nice surpise to see my name in the acknowledgements of this new version!

New blog post!
Ever wonder what geom_histogram is actually doing? How about geom_boxplot?
In celebration of the release of #ggplot2 4.0.0 (ggplot8?), I explore the relationships between the “geoms” and “stats” offered by the core {ggplot2} functions.

Now on CRAN, ggdiagram is a #ggplot2 extension that draws diagrams programmatically in #Rstats. Allows for precise control in how objects, labels, and equations are placed in relation to each other.
