DV Man, I know you are loving these graphs, but this last one means nothing to me. Can you incorporate years to the labels and why aren't there the same number of circles per epoch? If a different number of MVR, then should you standardize? Though, it could just be that I am not the desired audience (don't watch baseball). Also confidence intervals would be nice.
Here's the velocity (in MPH) of Justin Verlander's pitches since 2006 (when PITCH F/X data became available). The velocity is on the bottom, and the density is on the y-axis. The five different bars are the different pitch types (slider, two-seam fastball, four-seam fastball, curveball, and change-up).
Came across this awesome package that creates plot themes using the color schemes from Wes Anderson flicks!

So I recently updated this plot to include rainfall for 2015-2016 rain period. I originally posted this plot in a thread that trinker was following to help point me in the right direction.
I saw this plot: http://www.datapointed.net/2012/02/san-francisco-rain-year-before-after-valentines-day/
And thought that it had a very practical use for me on a project I am currently working on, more than that, I just think it looks great.
I emailed the author of the plot for the R-code and was told that he wrote it using java (If I recall correctly). Never used java, so my “project” was to work out how to do it in R.
Attached is the result.

@bugman you're using geom_text for the labels. I realize you're repeating the labels (I think) way more times than necessary, hence the very bold, somewhat fuzzy nature of the text (though I may be wrong and this is just a product of viewing it in the browser). You can pass a reduced data set to geom_text via the data argument and eliminate multiple texts being plotted to the same space. Love the plot.
Some of my recent illustrious, vaunted, and; as always, juicy graphics:
First, a cluster dendrogram of log(mammals) data by nearest neighbor method. Next, I used (cow, wolf), (wolf, human) and (cow, human). The three points form a triangle, so I drew the segments between them using polygon. Lastly, and the juiciest graphic of all, I displayed side-by-side box plots of the weights of chicks for the six different types of feeds in the chickwts data set.

Code:
#Cluster
big <- subset(mammals, subset=(body > median(body)))
d <- dist(log(big))
h <- hclust(d, method = "complete")
plot(h)
#Polygon
plot(log(mammals$body), log(mammals$brain),
xlab = "log(body)", ylab = "log(brain)")
y <- log(mammals[c("Grey wolf", "Cow", "Human"),])
polygon(y)
#chickwts # most juicy
boxplot(weight ~ feed, chickwts)

Hi DV man,
Always happy for people to share graphics in the thread, but it would be particularly useful if you could also share the code with the graphics - this way people with less experience can recreate the graphics posted. This was the original intention of this thread.
Best would be if you use the \(
