The early 2010s began a period of internet-based activism that was immediately embraced by much of mainstream liberalism without any rigorous analysis or appraisal of the organizational structure and limitations of these internet-based movements (Nagle, 2017).

ImagePlotting is not yet on the CRAN but can be installed with:
devtools::install_github("https://github.com/dungates/ImagePlotting")Data: All data retrieved using code in the import folder can be found here.
Import: All code used to import images and collect metadata.
Analysis: Single function ala Qtip to conduct analysis for all but stack features. Set good defaults, but allow passage of arguments to other underlying functions like those in color distance.
Output: There are three output models: ImagePlot, Image Montage, and ggplot2 with geom_image. Subsequent visual analyses including histograms and gganimate.
Images: Images used in analysis (way too much for data folder so condensed as a zip?)
