This week, I finally took the time to clean up the code for my cowplot R package and submit it to CRAN. While the code had been up on github for a while, and I had blogged about it previously, nobody had really taken notice as far as I can tell. However, this time, with an official release and better documentation, people seem to like it a lot. The response on Twitter was overwhelming.
@ClausWilke Thank you! Thank you!

I love that the name cowplot is based on @ClausWilke's initials. New goal: create a package named madplot some day. :)

New R pkg makes it easy to custom arrange, label ggplots on a canvas http://t.co/EQGjq9rOAE By @ClausWilke #rstats pic.twitter.com/Wi2kL3RnIw

(A big thank you to @ClausWilke for developing the cowplot package so I could make this 2-panel figure.) #Rstats #ggplot
