poorman VS ggplot2

You might find the poorman package interesting: https://github.com/nathaneastwood/poorman

It's true that their packages are heavy on dependencies, and if that is a concern, you have alternatives: - poorman: no dependencies, same syntax as dplyr, but only includes basic verbs. - datawizard: low dependencies, slightly different syntax, has base-R implementations of most of dplyr / tidyr functions, plus some other goodies likes scaling, mean-centering, rank transforming, ... - And of course, data.table: 0 dependencies, ultra-fast (everything is written in optimized C under the hood), can manipulate much bigger data than the Tidyverse, and can do everything the tidyverse can when it comes to data wrangling (however, sometimes the tidyverse has convenience functions that make some operations shorter than with data.table). The downside is that data.table's syntax requires more efforts to learn / is less intuitive to read for neophytes.

ggplot2

I got the list of five-letter words from the words package in R, created the QWERTY keyboard grid with base R and tibble, and visualized the data with geom_tile in the ggplot2 package.

Thanks, it's an interesting idea! I definitely could implement this with scale_fill_gradientn) in ggplot2.

I used the ggplot2 package in R to create these figures.

This might not be at the top of your list, but science fiction often presents advanced data analysis and visualization technologies. Open source data analysis tools such as Python's Pandas and R's ggplot2 have revolutionized the field, making complex data manipulation and visualization accessible to all. In the science fiction novel The Martian, astronaut Mark Watney uses a variety of data analysis and visualization tools to survive on Mars. He uses Python's Pandas to clean and organize data, and he uses R's ggplot2 to create visualizations of his data. These tools allow him to make sense of the vast amounts of data and help him to make critical decisions about his survival.

Sorry about the slow reply, but the auto-moderator seems to be deleting my comments (for some unknown reason). I will try once more: the geom_tile function in ggplot2.

Visual cues are a much better idea, thanks! Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that in ggplot2, either (I created these figures in R).
