ggplot2
An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics in R
ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science. -

A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. TinyTeX, is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size but still functions well in most cases. Even if you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it should be super clear to you what you need to do. In fact, if you are an R Markdown user, there is nothing you need to do, because missing packages will just be installed automatically. You may not even know the existence of LaTeX at all since it should rarely bother you. Currently, TinyTeX works best for R users. Other users can use it, too—it is just that missing LaTeX packages won’t be automatically installed, and you need to install them manually. Or you can go to the extreme to install all packages, but remember there are thousands of them. -

rayshader
R Package for 2D and 3D mapping and data visualization
This is an R package designed for producing beautiful and interactive 2D and 3D visualizations — especially maps and terrain renderings — using elevation/gridded data and ray-tracing / hill-shading methods. At its core, rayshader takes a matrix of elevations and applies shading, texture, ambient occlusion, overlays, and light modeling (ray shade, lambertian shading, etc.) to produce realistic relief maps. Users can rotate, zoom, and animate the scenes or script camera trajectories programmatically. It supports outputting high-quality renders via path tracing (using a companion package) and also offers depth-of-field (“cinematic blur”) effects to bring visual focus into scenes. It allows layering relational data (roads, points, polygons) on top of the shaded terrain, so you can combine spatial data overlays with the 3D model. The package can export models to 3D formats like STL or OBJ for 3D printing or external rendering. -

pointblank
Data quality assessment and metadata reporting for data frames
With the pointblank package it’s really easy to methodically validate your data whether in the form of data frames or as database tables. On top of the validation toolset, the package gives you the means to provide and keep up-to-date with the information that defines your tables. For table validation, the agent object works with a large collection of simple (yet powerful!) validation functions. We can enable much more sophisticated validation checks by using custom expressions, segmenting the data, and by selective mutations of the target table. The suite of validation functions ensures that everything just works no matter whether your table is a data frame or a database table. Sometimes, we want to maintain table information and update it when the table goes through changes. For that, we can use an informant object plus associated functions to help define the metadata entries and present it as a data dictionary. -

blavaan
An R package for Bayesian structural equation modeling
blavaan is a free, open-source R package for Bayesian latent variable analysis. It relies on JAGS and Stan to estimate models via MCMC. The blavaan functions and syntax are similar to lavaan. The development version of blavaan (containing updates not yet on CRAN) can be installed via the command provided in the documentation. Compilation is required; this may be a problem for users who currently rely on a binary version of blavaan from CRAN. The blavaan package depends on the lavaan package for model specification and for some computations. This means that, if you already know lavaan, then you should already be able to do many things in blavaan. In particular, many blavaan commands add the letter “b” to the start of the lavaan command. It is also sometimes possible to use a lavaan command on a blavaan object, though the results may not always be what you expect. -
