On March 17th, 2024, the Scicloj visual-tools group had its 22nd meeting.
This was the second session on a short series about ggplot2, an R package for grammar-of-graphics data visualization.
Summary
- Brief updates:
- @kiramclean shared initial thoughts on developing ggclj
- @daslu discussed ggplotly and demonstrated the potential of using its client side to render plots in Clojure
- @respatialized overviewed parts of Wilkinson’s Grammar of Graphics through the emerging syntax-of-grphics reading diary.
- Main part: we read into the ggplot2 book - Chapter 13 (“Build a plot layer by layer”).
- Unrecorded part:
- @adham shared the Iraq iData website and discussed its architecture behind it using reitit, Highcharts, and others.

Next time
The next ggplot2 study session will take place on April 7th. We will announce it soon at Clojureverse and the Clojure Calendar Feed.
We will probably continue with Chapter 14 (“Scales and guides”), which overlaps with Chapter 6 of Wilkinson’s book.
