post: Small viz: Cookbook frustrations
Buying books is awesome, buying cookbooks is a disappointment. This time it's in the form of a cookbook that specialises on packing lunches for work.

This seems exploitative pricing.

looks like the original repo got removed, but here's a clone since it was released under Aparche
Although I've used python's matplotlib for years, it has always been a case of hacking together code snippets from the web.
Why? Because I don't think there is a unified, coherent, consistent design philosophy. If there is, I have never found it in all these years.
I keep reading that the Grammar of Graphics is the solution - an actually designed framework which has been implemented first and foremost in R, but python implementations exist too.
What do people think?
I'd welcome your thoughts before I invest time in learning some grammar of graphics and maybe trying a library like plotnine.
Are my expectations of Grammar of Graphics too high?

A new Gephi Lite is coming!
To learn more about this new version to come out soon, read "A path to a new design" by Arthur Desaintjan:
https://www.ouestware.com/2025/07/31/gephi-lite-new-design-en/
We welcomed Arthur for a six-months internships in web UX design (
@timotheegoguely). He led Gephi Lite's redesign in the lights of users' interviews.
It was a fruitful process! We learned a lot and are impatient to share the new version in the coming weeks. Stay tuned...
https://DSLC.io welcomes you to week 37 of #TidyTuesday! We're exploring Allrecipes!

I normally only see these ternary plots used to show UK election results, but decided to see if I could make them work for this week's #TidyTuesday data from Allrecipes A little bit tricky to add annotations to but overall, I quite like the result!

Consumer sentiment is a key economic gauge, but how objective is it? More and more data raises concern that partisanship may be increasingly colouring people's economic outlook. Today’s Number Theory digs into this further using data from UK, US and India.

My monthly #Arctic temperature graphics are now updated for August 2025. Pretty warm, including record high temperatures in my western Siberia sector. See: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-temperatures/
Flashback to 2012: when Data Analysis was entering a new era. No Copilot. No AI. Just clean visuals, calculated fields & intuition.
This pic reminds me: Data storytelling has evolved.
If you set limits for a scale (e.g. x-axis) in ggplot, how would you like data outside of that range be handled? There is the oob parameter for that and a set of functions to use with it: https://scales.r-lib.org/reference/oob.html #rstats #ggplot #dataviz
