Tidyplots: publication-ready plots for scientific papers (e1.1.5)

A cookbook

Welcome

This is largely a curated compilation of code & the corresponding plots, with some additional exploration by Kang Wu (https://iamhealthy.github.io/), based on the official resources by Jan Broder Engler (https://jbengler.de/).

The official resources used for this compilation include:

• 🔗https://tidyplots.org/

• 🔗https://github.com/jbengler/tidyplots

• 🔗https://bsky.app/profile/jbengler.de

• 🔗The paper: iMeta 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1002/imt2.70018)

You may read it online here for free, or purchase a PDF version from Leanpub.

For the PDF (or perhaps the physical) copy, code is primarily shown on the left-hand pages, with the corresponding plots displayed on the following right-hand pages to facilitate reference, comparison, or interpretation.

A color scheme (Tol 2021) is used throughout the codebook to ensure strong color contrast, including in grayscale physical copies, while also remaining color-blind friendly (see High/medium-contrast qualitative color schemes).
