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. -

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. -

gganimate
A Grammar of Animated Graphics
gganimate extends the grammar of graphics as implemented by ggplot2 to include the description of animation. It does this by providing a range of new grammar classes that can be added to the plot object in order to customize how it should change with time. Here we take a simple boxplot of fuel consumption as a function of cylinders and let it transition between the number of gears available in the cars. As this is a discrete split (gear being best described as an ordered factor) we use transition_states and provide a relative length to use for transition and state view. As not all combinations of data are present there are states missing a box. We define that when a box appears it should fade into view, whereas it should shrink away when it disappears. Lastly, we decide to use a sinusoidal easing for all our aesthetics (here, only y is changing) gganimate is available on CRAN and can be installed with install.packages('gganimate'). -

gt R
Easily generate information-rich, publication-quality tables from R
With the gt package, anyone can make wonderful-looking tables using the R programming language. The gt philosophy: we can construct a wide variety of useful tables with a cohesive set of table parts. These include the table header, the stub, the column labels and spanner column labels, the table body, and the table footer. It all begins with table data (be it a tibble or a data frame). You then decide how to compose your gt table with the elements and formatting you need for the task at hand. Finally, the table is rendered by printing it at the console, including it in an R Markdown document, or exporting it to a file using gtsave(). Currently, gt supports the HTML, LaTeX, and RTF output formats. -

nichenetr
NicheNet: predict active ligand-target links between interacting cells
nichenetr: the R implementation of the NicheNet method. The goal of NicheNet is to study intercellular communication from a computational perspective. NicheNet uses human or mouse gene expression data of interacting cells as input and combines this with a prior model that integrates existing knowledge on ligand-to-target signaling paths. This allows to predict ligand-receptor interactions that might drive gene expression changes in cells of interest. This model of prior information on potential ligand-target links can then be used to infer active ligand-target links between interacting cells. NicheNet prioritizes ligands according to their activity (i.e., how well they predict observed changes in gene expression in the receiver cell) and looks for affected targets with high potential to be regulated by these prioritized ligands. -

JuliaConnectoR
A functionally oriented interface for calling Julia from R
This R-package provides a functionally oriented interface between R and Julia. The goal is to call functions from Julia packages directly as R functions. Julia functions imported via the JuliaConnectoR can accept and return R variables. It is also possible to pass R functions as arguments in place of Julia functions, which allows callbacks from Julia to R. From a technical perspective, R data structures are serialized with an optimized custom streaming format, sent to a (local) Julia TCP server, and translated to Julia data structures by Julia. The results of function calls are likewise translated back to R. Complex Julia structures can either be used by reference via proxy objects in R or fully translated to R data structures. -

R Color Palettes
Comprehensive list of color palettes available in R
This repository is a curated collection of color palettes crafted or curated for data visualization in R. The goal is to provide designers, data scientists, and R users with aesthetically pleasing, perceptually consistent color schemes that work well for plots, maps, and graphics. The repo contains static files listing palette definitions (e.g. hex codes, named hues), sample visualizations showing how each palette performs under different contexts (categorical, sequential, diverging), and helper functions/scripts to import or use the palettes in R. The author also documents palette provenance and usage guidance (contrast, readability, colorblind friendliness). While not a full package in itself, it’s often used as a reference or source of palette definitions for other R plotting or theming packages. -

Statistics for Data Scientists
"Statistics for Data Scientists: 50 Essential Concepts"
The “statistics-for-data-scientists” repository is a pedagogical resource designed to bridge rigorous statistics theory and practical data science workflows. The code and materials are intended to help data scientists and analysts grasp statistical principles (e.g. inference, regressions, hypothesis testing, probability, confidence intervals) in contexts relevant to real data analysis tasks. The repository includes Jupyter notebooks, R scripts, worked examples, and possibly problem sets that illustrate how statistical methods are applied to real datasets. It aims to demystify the bridge between textbook statistics and empirical modeling by walking through assumption checking, visualization, interpreting outputs, and pitfalls of misuse. Throughout, the content emphasizes clarity and accessibility, showing not just how to run statistical tests or build models, but what they mean and when one method is preferred over another. -

TinyTeX
Cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution
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. -

box
Write reusable, composable and modular R code
box is an R package providing a modular system / module loader for organizing reusable R code outside of full packages. It allows users to treat R scripts (files/folders) as modules — possibly nested — with explicit exports, imports, and scoping. The idea is to let users structure code in a more modular, composable way, without needing every reusable component to be a full CRAN-style package. It also provides a cleaner syntax for importing functions or modules (via box::use) that allows scoping control and avoids global pollution. Such modules can be stored in a central module search path (configured via options('box.path')) analogous to the R package library, or locally in individual projects. Let’s assume the module we just defined is stored in a file hello_world.r inside a directory mod, which is inside the module search path.
