Small Team, Big Value: Using R to Design Visualizations
summary
Small team demonstrates how R produces reusable visual assets for a large company: they build a categorical palette that accounts for color‑vision deficiency, tune colors with colorspace and farver, package results as palavel on GitHub and export simple hex codes that plug into Tableau, Qlik, d3, etc. They also prototype translating ggplot2 to Vega‑Lite with ggvega, publish through Distill on GitHub Enterprise, and report the palette worked well enough though some reds may be removed.
