TESS Lab Utilities

Assorted utility scripts for useful things

Utility 1) Beautiful GGplots.

Code for creating a bespoke theme in ggplot2 that makes it much easier to produce publication-quality beautiful plots.

Utility 2) Visualising scientific interest in key terms.

Based on an efficient search of the europepmc database.

Utility 3) Extracting pages as images from PDFs

This script generates a png image file for each page of a PDF document. Handy for inserting published manuscripts into a thesis as appendices!

Utility 4) Extracting EXIF parameters from image metadata

Handy for extracting camera locations from DJI drone images.

Utility 5) R package number of downloads https://www.datasciencemeta.com/rpackages

Useful for checking package popularity (can help choose between similar packages if you don't want to be on the 'bleeding edge').
