What about heatmaps and volcano plots?
Sometimes you have heatmap formatted data where you have a matrix:
- x/y-axis are the rows/columns
- depth (z-axis) is the values in the matrix.
We can handle this matrix data format with:
- A little bit of data wrangling with
dplyr. - Then make swiftly make a
ggplot. - Then just like before, use
rayshader.
Your boss is loving your new data story-telling skills. ????
