Title: Color Palette Choice and Customization in R and ggplot2
Date: Thursday, January 26th, 17:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Dr. Cédric Scherer, independent data visualization designer, consultant, and instructor and graduated computational ecologist from Berlin, Germany. Cédric has created visualizations across all disciplines, purposes, and styles and regularly teaches data visualization principles, the R programming language, and ggplot2. Due to regular participation in social data challenges such as #TidyTuesday, he is now well known for complex and visually appealing figures, entirely made with ggplot2.
Description: In this workshop, we will first cover the basics of color usage in data visualization. Afterward, we will explore different color palettes that are available in R, discuss which extension packages are exceptional in terms of palettes and functionality, and learn how to customize palettes and scales in ggplot2.
