The package flextable is existing since mid 2016 and I did not made any communication about it; obviously if I wrote it, I’d like it to be used by R users! That post is an attempt to fix that.

The flextable package makes it simpler to create tables for reporting purposes. The goal of the package is to provide a set of functions that can be used to design and format tabular reporting.

It’s time to announce the release of officer version 0.1.6. It allows to generate Microsoft documents from R; supported formats are Word and PowerPoint. It does come with other new packages¹:

• flextable: produces sophisticated tables.
• rvg: produces vector graphics for PowerPoints
• mschart: produces native Microsoft charts

Package officer is the reboot of ReporteRs. It’s better, faster and does only rely on R.²

I am excited to announce the release of ggiraph version 0.3.3.

The package did not evolved that much within the last months as I was busy on other projects. I finally found time last week to work on it.

• The new version fixes an issue with pan effect (that was not adjusted to the zoom level).
• ggiraph() has a new agument ggobj to avoid call to print in the code argument.
• Widget sizing has been improved

Let’s have simple examples with the following ggplot object.

This is my first post.

As I am writing packages for R, I should communicate on my work. Until now, I didn’t have correct tool to do it without spending days on it. Thanks to blogdown package from Yihui Xie, I don’t have an excuse anymore…
