This is so cool. This atlas has Lexis plots on how various things have changed over time in different age groups – mortality rates, fertility rates, number of parents and siblings. And you can reach out to Jonas to add your own plots too. I'd like to see Lexis plots for absolutely everything.

Lexis plots take time to initially wrap your head around, but the amount of granularity they give you about patterns and trends over time is amazing. Once you become a Lexis plot enjoyer, you can't go back!

Here are some of my favourite Lexis plots. 1. link.springer.com/article/10.1... 2. ourworldindata.org/causes-of-de... 3. www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol3...

They are all about death :(

Did that first one in base R :-) the swan song of base in my work haha.

Same. The base R `contour` function has a way of positioning labels along the contours which is beautiful and I haven't seen implemented as well in tidy land. The actual source for that is ages old C code: github.com/wch/r-source...
