Pat installs and uses Positron for the first time to recreate a visualization generated from the gapminder dataset. He compares using Positron to RStudio as he builds this figure. To recreate this visualization, Pat uses geom_point, geom_text, scale_fill_manual, scale_x_log10, coord_cartesian, labs, and theme. You can find the data and code he developed in this episode at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/2025-01-16-gapminder-positron. If you have a figure that you would like to see Pat discuss in a future newsletter and episode of Code Club, email me at pat@riffomonas.org!
