If you're based in Edinburgh(-ish), come along on Thursday 15th May to the @EdinbR meetup!

I'll be chatting about interactive charts in #RStats (and beyond!) Jordan Richards will also be chatting about fast Bayesian inference (so I guess that also makes it a mini STOR-i CDT reunion as well!)

Register: https://www.meetup.com/edinbr/events/307742291

It's Day 7 of the #30DayChartChallenge, and the prompt is "Outliers"

Data wrangling in #RStats
Scatter plot made with Observable
Static tooltips for annotations (+ dynamic tooltips for exploring)

For Day 3 of the #30DayChartChallenge, the prompt is "Circular"

Sunburst plot showing countries where 1% have >10% of wealth
Data formatting #RStats to create JSON data
Figured out how to edit an imported D3 chart in Observable

Quarto + #RStats + Observable =

New blog post from me about:

What is Observable?
Why should R users care?
How do you use both together to make interactive charts?

I've been asked to participate in an online panel event on "Predictions in Data Visualizations in 2023", hosted by @observablehq this coming Wednesday morning.

I think there are some spots left, but not sure.

It's certainly got me thinking about my hopes more than predictions.

I once heard that tomatoes do travel a lot to get on our plate.. especially the cherry ones.. this really made me sad.. as living in Germany means kinda boring tomatoes

And it's true .. tomatoes seem to travel the world!

And discovering all the things that @neocarto made possible with Bertin.js is lots of fun! This changes the fact that I used to dislike making maps :D

Figured out a pattern for implementing tooltips on #Observable Plot line charts that show even if you don't manage to mouse over the line itself with pinpoint accuracy

https://til.simonwillison.net/observable-plot/wider-tooltip-areas

The trick is to render the line twice: once as an opacity 0.01 super-wide line with a tooltip, and then again as a single solid line without one

(Obviously not much use if you're on a phone though - I'd love to have good mobile friendly tooltips there too)

Now using that here: https://observablehq.com/@simonw/mastodon-users-and-statuses-over-time
