Ever wonder what geom_histogram is actually doing? How about geom_boxplot?
In celebration of the release of #ggplot2 4.0.0 (ggplot8?), I explore the relationships between the “geoms” and “stats” offered by the core {ggplot2} functions.

Why do we 💙 #ggplot2?
Yes, it's for the Grammar!
But also for the passionate and supportive community — and their steady contributions to the ggplot2 universe: all the extension packages 🧩 that take its impressive flexibility even further, making it more powerful and beautiful 🙌

For #30DayMapChallenge I explored average monthly wind speed using WorldClim data.
Each frame shows mean wind speed (m/s) around the world — from calm zones to powerful currents.
