I like your logic for making y start at zero - great point! Thanks for watching 🤓

Thanks - but it has to stay interesting for me too! I teach intro stuff in workshops. These videos are intended for the type of folks who have taken a workshop and need something meaty to chew on to develop their skills further

What about it isn't working? That's going into a case_when statement. Make sure you're using == and that you have all of your parentheses and comments in the right place in that mutate statement

Thanks for your response. I already have a solution by ChatGPT​@@Riffomonas

Thanks for commenting! In my experience >90% of R users aren't really interested in programming as a classical CS person thinks of programming. They want to run some stats, calculate summary statistics, or make a plot. They could go their whole career without learning anything about object oriented programming. I think that difference in perspective is meaningful when thinking about whether someone will even need a second language.

My pleasure! 🤓

Ha! It's the little things that make the difference 🤓

My pleasure - thanks for watching! 🤓

Wonderful - thanks for watching! 🤓

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you know of a published example of it (or something like it) being used with a dataset?

Are you sure you're in the environment before starting R?

@ yes, i am sure.

@@EmouAcademy Sorry, it could be a lot of things and this interface is not the best for diagnosing problems. If you want to email me screenshots of wwhat's going on I can take a look - [email protected]

Very cool - thanks! I figured there was something but just needed a one off for this video

Thanks - I'll have to check out marquee!

My pleasure - thanks for continuing to watch! 🤓

Awesome - it's a nice way to add some personality to a figure 🤓

Thanks! I'm glad you've been watching 🤓

I often write rmarkdown using vscode and vscode has plugins that will do grammar checking for you. For knit'ing to word, you will need a reference file that has the formatting built into it already. It's pretty painful. I usually do everything with PDFs and if I need a word version, I take what it generates and reformat the final draft to look right

@Riffomonas Thank you for your suggestion. I'll try using vscode.

@@Riffomonas Thank you for the suggestion, I was able to use vscode with LTex, I was also able to use a Zotero extension (Zotex) to manage my citations and bibliography. Thank you once again!

Thanks for your code! It's great to see people riffing off of what I'm sharing 🤓. To get yours to match mine, I had to adjust the margin (mainly the left) since the gridlines were going all the way to the left edge of the figure... axis.text.y = element_text(hjust = 0, vjust = -0.3, size = 13, face = "bold", margin = margin(l = 10, r = -40)), I think I still prefer the annotate() approach since the meaning of the x and y positions are a bit more clear than the units on the margin and the vjust. For what it's worth, I tried adding fake 2024 data and I don't think it would take much/any fiddling to get it to look right. Thanks again for sharing - there's certainly multiple ways to do this

Thanks for watching and your suggestion! My struggle with covering basic programming concepts is that it's hard to create a story out of the lesson that I think is interesting enough. I'll keep it in mind though for the future.

My pleasure! 🤓

Sure, but I don't really like manipulating variables in aes() since I think it hinders the readability. Thanks for watching!

There's only one AI that I encourage people to use: *ACTUAL* intelligence 🤓

My pleasure - thanks for watching! I'll add hill numbers to the list of things to cover in the future

My pleasure - thanks for tuning in! 🤓

You're starting to detect that I'm not a native Rstudio user :) I do a lot in VSCode on a cluster and so many of the Rstudio-specific shortcuts get lost on me

I would probably make three facets - one row, three columns. Then I would put the facet title on the bottom outside the x-axis text. I've done this with moving them to the y-axis for a one column, three row figure, but you could surely do it with what you describe

@Riffomonas sorted it. Between yours and a couple of other videos 💪🏼 thanks for the reply

I'd make it with a facet for each group

Thanks for watching! 🤓

HAH! Sorry, I'm spoken for 🤪

Thanks! 🤓

Thanks! I'm new to {scales} and will definitely be checking out it's ability to work with log scales. I'll be revisiting log scales for the videos I'll be doing in a few of weeks

Thanks so much! It's a lot of fun for me to make these and forces me to learn and keep developing my own R skills

I love all the dodgerblues and the firebricks

For papers the journals I submit to require TIFF. I use ggsave to do this to a specific image size that complies with what they require. An example of these specifications can be seen here: journals.asm.org/writing-your-paper#figures-tables

My pleasure! Honestly, it's through practices. Make a lot of plots. Don't just make the plots that end up in a paper or talk. Try to recreate other figures you find interesting. You have to put in the time making the plots to remember the syntax. Beyond that there is a lot of googling and learning how to learn

That first emoji describes how my head felt for a day or two after recording this video 🤣

Agree. Damn

Fantastic - yeah, I've heard it said (and repeated it myself) that if something is hard to do in ggplot2, you probably should think twice about doing it 🤓

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🤓

@@Riffomonas was wondering, Pat, if we could export an application from R that is portable with no or with installation required but it is self contained so that it can be run on any computer without requiring R installation ever had the expereince with such a thing? this would be superuseful

@@ahmed007Jaber The closest thing I've seen is WebR, which allows you to run R in the browser. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but it appears to be the latest cool thing in R - docs.r-wasm.org/webr/latest/

Glad to hear it! 🤓

My pleasure - thanks for watching!
