ggthemes is an R package that provides extra themes, scales, and geoms for ggplot2. It supplements the default ggplot2 offerings by allowing users to apply special themes (e.g., inspired by classic publications, external visualization styles), additional scale functions, and specialized geoms or color scales. It is often used to make ggplot2 plots adhere to aesthetic styles from famous news outlets, scientific journals, or presentation decks.

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. ...

...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.

Shiny is an R package from RStudio that enables users to build interactive web applications using R without requiring knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, or CSS. It allows statisticians and data scientists to turn their analyses into fully functional web dashboards with reactive elements, data inputs, visualizations, and controls, making data communication more effective and dynamic.

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...

...The repository contains source files (R Markdown or LaTeX) that generate the cheat sheets, version history, and metadata (title, author, description) for each. It covers topics such as data wrangling, data import, modeling, visualization, RStudio IDE shortcuts, Shiny development, and the tidyverse suite (dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, purrr). These cheat sheets are widely used by R learners, educators, and practitioners as quick reference tools, and they often ship with RStudio by default or are linked from RStudio’s help/documentation pages. Users can also contribute new cheat sheet proposals, corrections, or translations via pull requests.

bbplot is an R package developed by the BBC visual journalism team aimed at helping data journalists and analysts produce chart styles consistent with BBC aesthetics. It provides functions and themes that make it easier to adopt BBC’s visual style (fonts, colors, annotations, layout) in ggplot2 plots. The package includes helper functions for axis labels, captions, legends, branding (e.g. BBC red lines or accents), and common chart types styled for editorial presentation. It offers templates and defaults that reduce styling overhead so users can focus on data and storytelling rather than aesthetic minutiae. Because visual consistency is important in media, bbplot helps non-designers build plots that align with professional publication standards. ...

...The visualizations show “return curves” for different starting years and durations, and also illustrate the probability of losses over various time horizons. The project is centered on transparency in finance and encourages users to examine the data themselves; the code is shared in R and uses ggplot2 for plotting.
