Let’s redo our own density plots.

single_species_weights <- penguin_mass$body_masses[[1]]

gg_density_plot <- function(weights) {
  ggplot() +
    stat_density(aes(x = weights), fill = 'dodgerblue4', col = 'grey20') +
    coord_cartesian(xlim = range(penguins$body_mass_g)) +
    theme_void()
}


list_of_ggplots <- map(penguin_mass$body_masses, gg_density_plot)


penguin_mass |> 
  flextable() |> 
  compose(
    j = 'body_masses',
    value = as_paragraph(
      gg_chunk(
        value = list_of_ggplots,
        width = 3,
        height = 1
      )
    )
  )
gg_density_box_plot <- function(weights) {
  ggplot(mapping = aes(x = weights)) +
    stat_density(fill = 'dodgerblue4', col = 'grey20') +
    geom_boxplot(width = 0.0005, position = position_nudge(y = -0.0005)) +
    coord_cartesian(xlim = range(penguins$body_mass_g)) +
    theme_void()
}

list_of_ggplots <- map(penguin_mass$body_masses, gg_density_box_plot)


penguin_mass |> 
  flextable() |> 
  compose(
    j = 'body_masses',
    value = as_paragraph(
      gg_chunk(
        value = list_of_ggplots,
        width = 3,
        height = 1
      )
    )
  )

Your Turn

Redo the table from the previous exercise but use ggplot to draw the sparklines. This time, also add small dots at beginning and end of each sparkline.

Hint: If you want, you can manually change the width of the sparkline column with width() after autofit() was called.

Your table should look like this:
