oh, that *is* the minimal effort rayshader output
it didn't pick up the pie fills for some reason (maybe something weird with ggforce::geom_arc_bar?) and that was as far as I took it

Accelerating ggplot2
The aim of ggplot2 is to aid in visual data investigations. This
focus has led to a lack of facilities for composing specialised plots.

I'm dead. DEAD! GPT called the ggforce, actually. And his comments call the shapes "balloons" just like I did, @nickwan.bsky.social!! That high alpha, too. I'm entranced.

Pretty sure this is just a straight up limitation of svg but one of my charts uses geom_link in ggforce to create lines that taper in both width and opacity from one end to the other and the output in svg is nightmarish 😂

That’s pretty cool!
One recent submission wanted 600dpi, they resized during editing, so we ended up needing 900dpi haha.
Is there something like ggforce::geom_sina()?
My fave way to “jitter”.

I looked at inequality data for Poland from 1986 to 2023.
This one was largely inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois.

geom_link (part of ggforce) is like a geom_segment but allows you to set colour/transparency/width gradients
If not wanting gradient, draw a thicker geom_segment in one colour then a thinner one on top, or one with filled arrow in one colour then the alternate colour minus arrow on top?

It turns out you can use ggforce::geom_mark_* and (1) group by a unique key for each point, and (b) not draw the outline around the group with col=NA. So you get Thomas's nice label-placement and aesthetics (as long as you don't have too many points to deal with).

I too am not a fan of ggpairs, and have been using ggforce::facet_matrix to do exactly this!
It's super flexible (can control what layers get plotted where), but doesn't support hiding empty facets.
