“ggauto is designed to choose the best chart type, based on the type of data that you have. That means that you need to pre-process your data into the correct type before plotting it. This is a requirement to make ggauto possible, but is more generally a good idea because it forces you to understand what your data is before you plot it.”
Looks cool. Blog post here.
Interesting new checklist for designing scientific data visualizations, by Helena Klara Jambor. The first test is to ask 2 to 5 people to explain what they see first when looking at the visualisation. I like how this treats graphs similarly to how user interfaces are treated in HCI/UX research: checking whether a graph works as intended is an empirical problem.
