Sometimes your plot needs a celebratory gif. I have just finished the vizwhiz module for #RYouWithMe and to top off the series I worked out how to add an RLady Wizard to our final plot. Just so I’ll remember for next time, here is a step by step how to… knitr::include_graphics("beachwiz.gif") how to add a gif to your ggplot Install the magick package and load it with ggplot.

How would we learn R if not for google? Here are some things I googled this week (and mostly not for the first time).
Learning new things is HARD. Stats methods are particularly hard because it not just about running the test.

He lures you in with a post that seems like it is going to solve all your problems and then and BAM… starts the post by saying “DON’T do it”.
