Cédric Scherer-Outlier 2021-ggplot wizardy: my favorite tricks and secrets for beautiful plots in R

ggplot wizardy: my favorite tricks and secrets for beautiful plots in R
In this talk, I present my favorite tips and tricks with regard to the ggplot2 package, a library for plotting in the programming language R. I will cover functions that are helpful but many may not be aware of as well as a collection of interesting functions from a large range of extension packages.
The talk is intended to people who already know how to code in R and ggplot2. However, I am going to cover a diverse collection of tips so I hope everyone can pick something helpful independent from their level of expertise.

Nice introduction to extension packages as well as how to refine the output from ggplot2.
Thank you.

Cedric, cool presentation, very useful, many thanks. Can I request if you can give some reference for Circular plot visualization using R for adding bar, box, correlation (chords), and heat maps in a single circular graph as multiple layers other than Circos or circlize R packages.

Cedric makes nice looking visuals but they are also hard to read, white background with light grey font is terrible. Visual accessibility is something we should all work on. This video was informative but most of the visuals for me were hard to fully see.

THanks for your feedback, problems in contrast is definitely something I am aware of by now and try to avoid.
