What was your previous knowledge of ggplot2 extension?
Please feel free to elaborate on any of your prior experiences with creating your own ggplot2 extensions.
How successful were you at completing the ‘Easy Geom Recipes’ tutorial?
Do you have comments about accessibility, length, compellingness of the examples?
In what ways do you think it is successful? In what ways do you think it could be improved?
Do you perceive any oversights or pitfalls to using this as an educational resource? Do you have any suggestions or concerns about the tutorial?
Would you use this tutorial (or others like it) in the future? In what contexts?
If there is a computational geom that you think should exist, but you don’t have time to take it on, please describe that geom. (for example, geom_lm_residuals() is a new function in the package ggxmean. Is there something you’re always ‘drawing’ or would like to draw in ggplot2, but seems cumbersome to do in ‘base ggplot2’? perhaps there is a fair amount of precomputation.)
Have you used other resources to learn about extending ggplot2? Which? How do they compare to ‘easy geom recipes’ tutorial’s approach?
