Just another way to make a R flavored blog

This post is in active development!

This usually is "echo=FALSE"

rm(list = ls())
library("printr")
knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir  = normalizePath(".."))

Considerations

1. Use h2 ## in R files to spin, because h1 is reserved for title post.
2. At the begin of R script write a chunk of R code loading the print package
3. This post have some considerations to have when write a post via: r script > spind > md and testing r srcipt > html_fragment:

print(getwd())

## [1] "C:/Users/Joshua K/Documents/Dev/jbkunst.github.io"

print(knitr::opts_knit$get("root.dir"))

## [1] "C:\Users\Joshua K\Documents\Dev\jbkunst.github.io"

this should be equal when knit via ctrl+ shift + K

Testing knitr::spin on this R script

Load libraries

library("ggplot2")
library("ggthemes")
library("dplyr")

this is how we show tables

test <- sample_n(diamonds, 1000)
head(test)

And this is who we can plot! 😀

p <- ggplot(test) +
  geom_point(aes(x = carat, y = price, color = price, shape = cut)) +
  facet_wrap(~color) + 
  theme_fivethirtyeight() + 
  scale_color_continuous_tableau() + 
  theme(legend.position = "none")
p

This is a h3!

I can load a data

mtcars <- readr::read_csv("data/mtcars.csv")

Showing a table

head(mtcars)

To generate the featured image.

According with http://yihui.name/knitr/options/, dpi: (72; numeric) the DPI (dots per inch) for bitmap devices (dpi * inches = pixels) so:

desire_width_px <- 720
desire_height_px <- 480
dpi <- 72
fig.width <- desire_width_px / dpi
fig.height <- desire_height_px / dpi

fig.width

## [1] 10

fig.height

## [1] 6.67

This template need a 720 x 480 image. So at the final of the script I generate a chunk named featured_image, with parameters: echo=FALSE, fig.width=10, fig.height=6.7, dpi=72 and fig.show='hide'.
