paletteer
Collection of most color palettes in a single R package
paletteer is an R package by Emil Hvitfeldt that aggregates color palettes from many other R packages, providing a unified, streamlined interface to access discrete, continuous, and dynamic palettes. It is intended to simplify choosing color schemes when plotting, remove the friction of remembering different palette package APIs, and make high‐quality color aesthetics more accessible. Some palettes change depending on the number of colors requested; the ability to reverse palettes. Support both discrete palettes (fixed number of colors) and continuous palettes (interpolated). -

pkgdown
Generate static html documentation for an R package
pkgdown is an R package (by the r-lib group) whose purpose is to generate static websites (HTML) for R packages, automatically converting a package’s help files, vignettes, README, NEWS, etc., into a documentation website. It helps package authors share their documentation online with minimal friction. It supports custom templates, themes, and configuration. pkgdown 2.0.0 includes an upgrade from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 5, which is accompanied by a whole bunch of minor UI improvements. If you’ve heavily customised your site, there’s a small chance that this will break your site, so everyone needs to explicitly opt in to the upgrade. -

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. -

posterdown
Use RMarkdown to generate PDF Conference Posters via HTML
Welcome to Posterdown! This is my attempt to provide a semi-smooth workflow for those who wish to take their RMarkdown skills to the conference world. Many creature comforts from RMarkdown are available in this package such as Markdown section notation, figure captioning, and even citations like this one (Allaire, Xie, McPherson, et al. 2018). The rest of this example poster will show how you can insert typical conference poster features into your own document. Posterdown was created as a proof-of-concept (to myself) that it is possible to make a beautiful poster using open-source reproducible code. -

rayshader
R Package for 2D and 3D mapping and data visualization
This is an R package designed for producing beautiful and interactive 2D and 3D visualizations — especially maps and terrain renderings — using elevation/gridded data and ray-tracing / hill-shading methods. At its core, rayshader takes a matrix of elevations and applies shading, texture, ambient occlusion, overlays, and light modeling (ray shade, lambertian shading, etc.) to produce realistic relief maps. Users can rotate, zoom, and animate the scenes or script camera trajectories programmatically. It supports outputting high-quality renders via path tracing (using a companion package) and also offers depth-of-field (“cinematic blur”) effects to bring visual focus into scenes. It allows layering relational data (roads, points, polygons) on top of the shaded terrain, so you can combine spatial data overlays with the 3D model. The package can export models to 3D formats like STL or OBJ for 3D printing or external rendering. -

reprex
Render bits of R code for sharing, e.g., on GitHub or StackOverflow
reprex is an R package (from the tidyverse / Posit ecosystem) that helps users make reproducible examples (reprexes) of R code: self-contained, shareable, minimal examples capturing an issue or showing desired behavior. It formats code and its output nicely (often using Markdown or syntax appropriate to posting on forums, GitHub, StackOverflow etc.), handles dependencies, session info, etc. The goal is to make debugging, asking for help, or demonstrating code easier through rigorous reproducible examples. Get slightly different Markdown, optimized for Slack messages. Handles dependencies (e.g. load required libraries inside the reprex) so that code example is self-contained. Captures session information (R version, package versions etc.) so that context is preserved when sharing. -

sf (Simple Features)
Simple Features for R
sf is an R package that implements “simple features” (standardized vector spatial data) for R. It allows spatial vector data (points, lines, polygons etc.) to be represented as records in data frames (or tibbles) with geometry list columns, and performs spatial operations (geometry operations, coordinate reference system transformations, reading/writing spatial data, integration with spatial databases etc.). It interfaces to GDAL, GEOS, PROJ libraries for robust operations. Reading and writing spatial vector data via many file formats/drivers through GDAL, and spatial databases (PostGIS etc.) Supports all standard simple feature geometry types (points, linestrings, polygons, multi-geometries etc.) in various dimensions (XY, XYZ, XYM, XYZM). -

targets
Function-oriented Make-like declarative workflows for R
The targets package is a pipeline / workflow management tool in R, designed to coordinate multi‐step computational workflows in data science / statistics. It tracks dependencies between “targets” (computational steps), skips steps whose upstream data or code hasn’t changed, supports parallel computation, branching (dynamic generation of sub‐targets), file format abstractions, and encourages reproducible and efficient analyses. It’s something like GNU Make for R, but more integrated. Skipping computation for up-to-date targets so that unchanged parts of the workflow are not recomputed. Targets can represent files or R objects, and tracking file changes etc is incorporated. -
