Who are the #ggplot2 super-extenders?

By one definition -- authors of more than three extension packages on CRAN -- a sizable group! ggplot2 extenders has heard from many of these folks (white bg) - Thomas' talk at the next meet up!

Hoping to hear from more of these folks in the future! #rstats

Is there a data viz principle that motivates deleting an axis title and adding info to axis labels? (looks good, is good?)

One way to go about this in #ggplot2:

1) write my_fun that adds context to the maximum value for your labels
2) use that function in `scale_y_continuous(label = my_fun)`

Who are the #ggplot2 extenders? Here are some super-extenders (folks with 4 or more extension packages on CRAN). And a growing number -- highlighted -- have presented at the ggplot2 extenders meetup!

API is still under 🚧 but feeling more fluid than tidyplots iteration...! 📜📈📊😮‍💨 #ggplot2 github.com/EvaMaeRey/gg...

{tidyplots}, built on ggplot2, offers a new 'intuitive syntax to add, remove, and adjust plot components...' and has gained a lot of attention. 👀 github.com/jbengler/tid...

We'll discuss the syntactical departure Wednesday #ggplot2 at 3pm Eastern with @jbengler.de. 🤩

The code, in which Jan start date isn't right for text - may lead to changes in ggcalendar.

A useful, valid and underutilized path! I flag the technique as an 'early exit' to think about, since going further has you building a constructor and maybe a package...

Looking forward to our first meeting of the year - this Tuesday! @teunbrand.bsky.social *returns* as presenter to tell us about the {legendry} package (next in the line of so many great, thought-provoking presentations!). 🤯

A little 'guides(x = "axis_nested")' magic spell from @teunbrand.bsky.social's {legendry} package... 🧙🪄

#ggplot2 fans, thoughts on this workflow:

tidytuesday-*flat*-geo-data |> ggplot(aes(region_name = region, fill = iso_num)) + geom_region()

`geom_region()` meant to make it easy to choropleth regions!

But is options() in ggplot2 extensions a good idea?😱 (what makes geom_region region-flexible)
