ggplot2
An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics in R
ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science. -

R Color Palettes
Comprehensive list of color palettes available in R
This repository is a curated collection of color palettes crafted or curated for data visualization in R. The goal is to provide designers, data scientists, and R users with aesthetically pleasing, perceptually consistent color schemes that work well for plots, maps, and graphics. The repo contains static files listing palette definitions (e.g. hex codes, named hues), sample visualizations showing how each palette performs under different contexts (categorical, sequential, diverging), and helper functions/scripts to import or use the palettes in R. The author also documents palette provenance and usage guidance (contrast, readability, colorblind friendliness). While not a full package in itself, it’s often used as a reference or source of palette definitions for other R plotting or theming packages. -

ExData Plotting1
Plotting Assignment 1 for Exploratory Data Analysis
This repository explores household energy usage over time using the “Individual household electric power consumption” dataset from the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository. The dataset covers nearly four years of minute-level measurements, including power consumption, voltage, current intensity, and detailed sub-metering values for different household areas. For analysis, focus is placed on a two-day period in February 2007, highlighting short-term consumption trends. The data requires careful handling due to its size of more than 2 million rows and coded missing values. By processing the date and time fields into proper formats, it becomes possible to generate clear time-series plots of energy usage. The repository demonstrates effective exploratory data analysis practices in R with a reproducible workflow for transforming raw data into visual insights. -

TinyTeX
Cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution
A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. TinyTeX, is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size but still functions well in most cases. Even if you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it should be super clear to you what you need to do. In fact, if you are an R Markdown user, there is nothing you need to do, because missing packages will just be installed automatically. You may not even know the existence of LaTeX at all since it should rarely bother you. Currently, TinyTeX works best for R users. Other users can use it, too—it is just that missing LaTeX packages won’t be automatically installed, and you need to install them manually. Or you can go to the extreme to install all packages, but remember there are thousands of them. -

plotly
An interactive graphing library for R
This part of the book teaches you how to leverage the plotly R package to create a variety of interactive graphics. There are two main ways to creating a plotly object: either by transforming a ggplot2 object (via ggplotly()) into a plotly object or by directly initializing a plotly object with plot_ly()/plot_geo()/plot_mapbox(). Both approaches have somewhat complementary strengths and weaknesses, so it can pay off to learn both approaches. Moreover, both approaches are an implementation of the Grammar of Graphics and both are powered by the JavaScript graphing library plotly.js, so many of the same concepts and tools that you learn for one interface can be reused in the other. Any graph made with the plotly R package is powered by the JavaScript library plotly.js. The plot_ly() function provides a ‘direct’ interface to plotly.js with some additional abstractions to help reduce typing. -

ProgrammingAssignment2
Repository for Programming Assignment 2 for R Programming on Coursera
This repository contains the second programming assignment for an R course, focused on caching expensive computations by leveraging R’s scoping rules. The assignment walks you through creating a special matrix object that stores both a matrix and its cached inverse, avoiding repeated calls to costly operations. It builds on a worked example that caches the mean of a numeric vector, demonstrating how the operator preserves state across function calls. You then implement analogous logic for matrices via two functions, one to construct the cache-aware object and another to compute or retrieve the cached inverse. The instructions emphasize using solve for inversion and assuming that the supplied matrix is always invertible. The repository outlines the workflow for forking, editing the provided R stub, committing your solution, and submitting your repository URL as the final deliverable. -

gt R
Easily generate information-rich, publication-quality tables from R
With the gt package, anyone can make wonderful-looking tables using the R programming language. The gt philosophy: we can construct a wide variety of useful tables with a cohesive set of table parts. These include the table header, the stub, the column labels and spanner column labels, the table body, and the table footer. It all begins with table data (be it a tibble or a data frame). You then decide how to compose your gt table with the elements and formatting you need for the task at hand. Finally, the table is rendered by printing it at the console, including it in an R Markdown document, or exporting it to a file using gtsave(). Currently, gt supports the HTML, LaTeX, and RTF output formats. -

MetBrewer
Color palette package inspired by Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY
MetBrewer is an R package that provides color palettes inspired by artworks and collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met). The idea is to draw on the rich visual heritage of fine art to generate palettes that are aesthetically pleasing and grounded in real-world artistic color usage. The palettes are curated, named after artworks or styles, and often include notes about colorblind-friendliness and contrast. The package supports both discrete and continuous palette types, with interpolation when more colors are requested than originally defined. It also provides ggplot2-friendly scale functions (scale_color_met_c, scale_fill_met_d, etc.) so integration into typical R plotting workflows is smooth. Internally, the package includes functions to list available palettes, check which are colorblind-friendly, and visualize all palettes at once. -
