Finally posting Size Debt chapter 2!

I am very pleased to introduce Ms Nakano herself, probably one of the most lethal face cards I've made 😅

I just uploaded the first version of {{exactplot}} to github.com/const-ae/exa... 🎉

It produces figures with consistent font size, Latex labels, and millimeter-perfect layouting. It's an alternative to patchwork with less elegant syntax but much more flexibility.

#rstats

$xp_compose_plots( xp_text("Welcome to \\texttt{exactplot} with \\LaTeX{} support", x = 1, y = 2, fontsize = xp$fontsize_large, fontface = "bold"), xp_text("A) Flipper length vs.\\ beak size", x = 1, y = 8), xp_plot(scatter_plot, x = 0, y = 12, width = 80, height = 40), xp_text("B) Beak sizes", x = 84, y = 8), xp_plot(beak_lengths, x = 82, y = 12, width = 58, height = 40), xp_text(density_formula, x = 99, y = 12, fontsize = xp$fontsize_small), width = 140, height = 52, keep_tex_file = FALSE, filename = "example.pdf" )$

Hey gang!

I've been frequently asked about commissions.

Unfortunately I no longer do commissions but I want to offer something so YCH's are the best alternative

The experimental graphical framework vellum knows where grobs land before they are actually drawn to a device. One interesting side effect is that one can actually lint graphics without drawing them! #Rstats
📦: github.com/r-vellum/vellum

R code that shows the linter implemented in vellum:
vl_scene(4, 2, dpi = 96, bg = "white") |>
draw(text_grob(
"n = 120",
x = 0.1,
y = 0.9,
gp = vl_gpar(fontsize = 2.5),
name = "n_label"
)) |>
draw(points_grob(2.4, 0.5, name = "stray_point")) |>
draw(text_grob(
"watermark",
gp = vl_gpar(fontsize = 22, col = "#F2F2F2"),
name = "watermark"
)) |>
vl_lint()
#> 3 lint findings (3 warnings):
#> ✖ [low_contrast] watermark: contrast 1.4:1 against its backdrop - below 3:1
#> ✖ [offscreen] stray_point: drawn entirely outside the page - check the
#> coordinates or the scale
#> ✖ [tiny_text] n_label: 3.3 px tall - below the 7 px legibility floor

Did you know?

If you want to render fixed width (monospaced) digits, set FontFeature.tabularFigures() inside your TextStyle. 🎯

This works great when showing numbers and dates that should align vertically or update in realtime! 🔥

Text(
currentTimeFormatted,
style: const TextStyle(
// Set this font feature to ensure all digits are rendered with a fixed width (monospace)
// Useful when showing numbers or dates that update in realtime
fontFeatures: [FontFeature.tabularFigures()],
fontFamily: "Roboto",
fontSize: 48,
fontWeight: FontWeight.w700,
),
)

Actual thing I did earlier. See if you spot the mistake, and laugh with/at me.

$Code snippet: JavaScript. // Truncated code: reset default element styles if (HEADING_TYPES.contains(type)) { setStyles('fontSize', DEFAULT_STYLES[type].fontSize); setStyles('fontWeight', DEFAULT_STYLES[type].fontWeight); setStyles('lineHeight', DEFAULT_STYLES[type].fontWeight); }$

What's that, it's time for another major feature? Perils of reviewing these oldest first. This time, it's responsive font sizing, scaling with the size of your viewport! Hype! Nice feature on web, good to add here, warrants a release note.
