| ### The original graph | ||
|
|
||
| The original graph portrays the relationship between the share living in extreme poverty and the GDP per capita in 8 world regions and the global average between the years 1817 and 2017. | ||
|
|

| ::: {style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 15px; overflow: hidden;"} | ||
| ```{=html} | ||
| <img src="Growth-and-poverty-since-1820.png" | ||
| style="width: 300px;"/> | ||
| ``` | ||
| <p>The graphs strengths include its clear comparison between the world regions wealth and poverty trends, which highlight the significant variation between regions, and its historical perspective, which provides some context for the global and regional progress. Visually, the regional facets and colouring contribute to their acute distinction and provide clarity and readability.</p> | ||

Isn't this redundant with the above? I mean adding a subsection and showing the graph again.

true. i have now moved it to the improvement as a segway to explain the changes

It's better to load the font again from Google Fonts with the appropriate weight. Remove please the folder with the font sources, and here you can do something like:
sysfonts::font_add_google("Lato", family = "lato_light", regular.wt=300)Or less if you need it thinner.

Please add fig.showtext=TRUE so that the resulting fonts have a reasonable size.

| The original graph's x axis `limits` does not start at 0 or end at the 50000 break, but rather starts and ends a bit later. Thus, we set the scales within facet_wrap free and manually determine the limits within each scale. The x axis limits apparently start at 800 (which is the minimum value of the GDP values) and seem to end at somewhere around 57000 (trial and error considering the logarithmic scale). | ||
|
|
||
| <aside>Explanation: even though we have set the scales free for all panels as a group in the `facet_wrap`, we have also pre-defined the scales for all panels individually in `scale_x_log10` and `scale_y_continuous`.</aside> |

Please remove the fig.dpi specification from all chunks. The default should be enough for our purposes. Otherwise, images are too big, and the post takes a lot of bandwidth.
