Hot tip - export a basic plot to svg and format it in Inkscape. OBVIOUSLY DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING THAT MODIFIES THE DATA OR RESULTS but it’s much easier to get a consistent look and feel in Inkscape than ggplot

Hotter tip - just make it all in inkscape, no one fact-checks anyway!

There's inkscape plugin to make barplots and piecharts. Why don't we add for more? Honestly we could even make it just take r code or python code.
