Are you curious to know how to create a donut chart with
#ggplot2 in R #rstat?
Below few steps I used to create a donut chart in R.

To change the default colours, I used this time {MetBrewer} lnkd.in/dp7MzAKa, selecting a colour-blind friendly palette.

It is 7 months that I don't post here. I focused on learning about entrepreneurship in these months. Now it's time to come back to the #Rstat #dataviz projects again, and what better time to start with the #30DaysMapChallenge? Here I incorporated day 5 a journey, and day 15 my data. A map of my CV.

Thanks, @helenajambor.bsky.social for the tips on mobile screen. Testing on mine mobile, it was OK, but having more feedback is always useful to improve.

Coloured toilet roll tube with inside mirror cardboard.

It is still British Science Week. I talked to some kids in year 4 about how the synchrotron works. I talked about chocolates, dinosaur eggs and many other applications. We had fun creating a kaleidoscope. πŸ§ͺIt was a pleasure to speak about my experience working at ESRF and SLS.

Four slope graphs showing different viridis palettes

Four slope graphs showing different viridis palettes

{viridis} is an R package with colour-blind friendly palettes.Β It improves the graph readability.Β The advantage is that the palettes are perceptually uniform, easy to print in greyscale.Β To use the {viridis} palettes in ggplot2 add:
πŸ“Š scale_colour_d()

Image with R code: # Load library

library(RColorBrewer)

# Display all the colour-blind friendly palettes 
display.brewer.all(colorblindFriendly = TRUE)

Image with R code: # Load library library(RColorBrewer) # Display all the colour-blind friendly palettes display.brewer.all(colorblindFriendly = TRUE)

How to choose a colour-blind friendly colour palette in R? One option is the packageΒ {RColorBrewer}, which helps you find the right colour for your audience. Using β€˜colorblindFriendly = TRUE’ inside the function 'display.brewer.all', you can visualise all the colour-blind friendly palettes. πŸ“Š

In collaboration with @datavizsociety.bsky.social, I started a spreadsheet of data visualization style guides. If you know of any that aren't onΒ the list (docs.google.com/spreadsheets...)Β already, please add them and fill out thisΒ quick form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Circles of different size and colours

Circles of different size and colours

Thanks to all the useful resources and people to follow, yesterday I created my first circles in Svelte + D3. I used the tutorial from @higsch.com on YouTube. I amused myself by also adding a title and a footnote. Also, I changed the colours using a colour-blind friendly palette from {RColorBrewer}.

I am on the lookout for potential assignments/clients: if anyone knows of possibilities or can introduce me somewhere that would be super.
My expertise: static artful datavisualization (but I also like to create basic graphs), preferably on a social or scientific subject. πŸ“Š

Do you know Basel Fastnacht? I was there once, when I lived in Basel, and it was the most amazing carnival experience of my life.

Hi CΓ©dric, thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know that Matthias was on bluesky. I started today to follow one of his YouTube's tutorials on D3+Svelte :)

Time to introduce myself, after being here for a while. I'm a data visualisation designer and a scientific illustrator. I work mainly in R to make data visualisations. I want to strengthen my skills in D3 with Svelte to create interactive data viz, any ideas or person to follow to learn about it?
