Adding social media icons to charts with {ggplot2} – Nicola Rennie
Adding social media icons to your data visualisation is a great, concise way to put your name on your work, and make it easy for people to find your profile from your work. This blog post explains how to add social media icons to {ggplot2} charts.

#Rstats problems: Did you ever think that the dots for dotted lines are a bit too far apart per default? TIL that it's super easy to change this.
In #ggplot2, simply try something like:
scale_linetype_manual(
values = c(a = "dotted", b = "11")
)
The '11' means: 1 point for a dot, 1 point for a gap. Find out more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25788945/how-to-define-more-line-types-for-graphs-in-r-custom-linetype

{purrr} has some lesser known functions that make handling of failing function calls easier: safely, quietly, possibly: #rstats

Wrap a function to capture errors — safely
Creates a modified version of .f that always succeeds. It returns a list with components result and error. If the function succeeds, result contains the returned value and error is NULL. If an error occurred, error is an error object and result is either NULL or otherwise.

I have often been unhappy that the line type in a #ggplot2 legend is not clearly visible. Today, I found a simple solution: simply use

{nplyr} has helper functions to work on nested dataframes: #rstats #datascience

A Grammar of Nested Data Manipulation
Provides functions for manipulating nested data frames in a list-column using dplyr syntax. Rather than unnesting, then manipulating a data frame, nplyr allows users to manipulate each nested data frame directly. nplyr is a wrapper for dplyr functions that provide tools for common data manipulation steps: filtering rows, selecting columns, summarising grouped data, among others.

Im using case_when() quite a lot, case_match() is new to me: #rstats

A general vectorised switch() — case_match
This function allows you to vectorise multiple switch() statements. Each case is evaluated sequentially and the first match for each element determines the corresponding value in the output vector. If no cases match, the .default is used. case_match() is an R equivalent of the SQL "simple" CASE WHEN statement. Connection to case_when() While case_when() uses logical expressions on the left-hand side of the formula, case_match() uses values to match against .x with. The following two statement…
