Gallery / cookbook for ggtext #5

Open emilyriederer opened 4 years ago

emilyriederer commented 4 years ago

One exciting new package demoed at rstudio::conf this year was @wilkelab 's ggtext.

This package gives ggplot2 users a ton more freedom to add nicely formatted text (e.g. changing colors and sizes within a string, bold / italics, auto-wrapping) to ggplots by using either HTML or Markdown syntax.

As this package is new and only on GitHub, there are few 'in the wild' examples of it being used. A group could develop a repo / bookdown / GitHub site / etc. with examples of using this package to make pretty and powerful plots. Graphics cookbooks like this really can empower users to understand the value of a new visualization package and give them traction to get started.

I like this idea! It's clean and potentially very useful.
