Base #rstats distribution plotting tools are surprisingly easy and powerful - easily generate box, bar, histogram and density plots using only a handful of functions.

Join @OSPpatrick and Me as we use the lahman batting dataset to look at batter hits

TidyX Episode 160: Prepopulate a shiny app url with user defined parameters

This week, @ellis_hughes & I discuss building a {shiny} app that allows you to prepopulate user defined parameters from a URL so that your app opens with the data the user wants

https://t.co/mqp9n7YjiY

[Ellis Hughes @ellis_hughes]

Pre-populating your shiny app with specific values your specific user is interested in sounds like a pipe dream...

But we are here to tell you it isn't! Join @OSPpatrick and Me for epsiode 160 of #tidyX, covering how to update your shiny from the url!
