From the post: The web annotation layer hypothes.is has a relatively simple API for searching, creating, reading, updating, and deleting annotations. As a personal coding exercise, I just completed an R wrapper for interacting with this API: hypothesisr You can read about the package’s capabilities more in-depth on its GitHub page.

So-called “movie barcodes” are both elegant to look at and useful ways to explore how color schemes and designs shift throughout a film. Image montages can also demonstrate how a visual corpus changes over time, and plotting an image set into a graph based on values like hue and saturation could provide a stylistic fingerprint for […]

This post is a test, but it might also be an announcement. A while back I was working on a plugin that, among other things, added DOI information to a post. It’s handy if you’re using something like ScienceSeeker used to be though not quite enough for ResearchBlogging. I now have a new version of the […]
