Hexstickers #274

Closed seabbs closed 3 years ago

seabbs commented 3 years ago

People love them (me included) and it would be neat to have. I have previously rolled ones using Hexsticker but I am sure there are better options.

Example of my previous shoddy work: https://github.com/seabbs/getTBinR/blob/master/inst/scripts/generate_hex_sticker.R

Oooo, exciting!

I've been trying to think of an appropriate graph or image to use - I think finding some CC SVG image of a coronavirus, or possibly work with waffle for pictograms of a virus, hospital beds... ? Or perhaps an image generated which could emphasize the regional data available, so working from the German, Mexican, Lithuanian maps?

I'm not going to start trying to make these yet but am throwing out ideas.

seabbs commented 3 years ago

I like the ideas of using the maps as it really emphasis the use of the package whilst being fairly easy to do.....

Thinking more about this we could use the nice supported regions map added in #377 by @joseph-palmer ?
