Superindex and subindex in ggpairs axes labels
I was having problems on the syntax to get the axis labels with subindices and superindices, as it didn’t work as in ggplot2. The trick was to use a single expression() and specifying labeller = label_parsed)
Example:
resin_bv |>
ggpairs(columns = c("canal_size_bv", "canal_area_bv", "canal_density_bv"),
columnLabels = c("Canal~size~(mm^2)", "Canal~area~('%')", "Canal~density~(n~cm^{-2})"),
upper = "blank",
labeller = label_parsed) +
theme_bw(base_size = 14)
greenR: Green spaces in R
Yesterday I was attending the Urban Forest Futures conference and there were several interesting presentations. Here is a couple of links to work that was mentioned:
- greenR: “an R package that enables the quantification, analysis, and visualization of urban greenness within city networks” https://github.com/sachit27/greenR/
- Wildcounts: “supports and celebrates people documenting the changes in wild nature” https://wildcounts.org/

I haven’t done an animation in R in ages
So I needed to remember how to do it. Thie post “Building an animation step-by-step with gganimate” is pretty helpful:
