| # WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS PLOT | ||
| I wanted to replicate and improve the EOM plot (https://elordenmundial.com/mapas-y-graficos/inmigrantes-en-el-mundo/) for several reasons. First of all, I chose it since I had never recreated a map before (unlike other types of plots that I already knew how to make such as barplots, boxplots, histograms, etc.). |

Include the original plot, with a caption and as "external" as e.g. David does here.
| datos <- read.xlsx("migraciones_final.xlsx", sheet = 1) | ||
|
|
||
| # BASE MAP | ||
| mapa_mundial <- st_as_sf(getMap(resolution = "low")) #The resolution is low because we don't need very millimetrically details as in other types of more specific maps. |

Put this comment in its own line so that it doesn't go out of view.

Add preview: true as a chunk option too so that this image is shown in the project list.
| plot <- plot_grid( | ||
| ggdraw() + | ||
| draw_text("Global Map of Migration", size = 26, x = 0.08, y = 0.3, hjust = 0, fontface = "bold") + | ||
| draw_text("% of immigrants and flows of migration (2017)", size = 18, x = 0.08, y = 0.01, hjust = 0, fontface = "bold", color = "#444444"), |

This line goes out of view, insert a new line somewhere in the middle to avoid this.
| # IÑAKI'S ADVICE | ||
|
|

| Here I tried to apply Iñaki's advice to improve the plot, specifically I take into account these suggestion: |

| # QUESTIONS | ||
|
|

| First, I think it's better -as you said- that the blue and dark colors are related to lower values and the higher values are represented with more lighter and yellowish colors. But what do you think about the logarithmic scale? I think that thanks to it we can highlight better the differences between countries than with the continuous scale. |

And please try to avoid things like "as you said", because this post is not for me, it's also for you, it's for everyone! So imagine some random person arrives to your project and reads this... :)
First version of the project (plot on migrations).
Added: Check that the year folder has been created correctly (2024) and inside there's the folder with my NIA (100431421)
