I ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲
Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner.
🔵 no manual coordinates
🔵 inherits theme styling
🔵 scales nicely when resizing

Working on Arrow in Positron and PR comments are showing up inline! 😍 OK, I'd been a bit hesitant to move away from RStudio as I was used to it, but this is a game changer! I know this is a VS Code extension thing not a Positron thing, but VSCode was a bit meh for R, so rarely used it! #rstats

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.

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.
