Why are all the parameters full words except 'labs'? I find it jarring because to me 'lab' is short for laboratory, not label.

- bestouff 4mo agoHe's open to API suggestions, you should open an issue
- matijsvzuijlen 4mo agoYes, I will do that!
- mcanouil 4mo agoThat's fixed in 0.4.0 awaiting approval for Typst Universe (plus other improvements in various areas).
- nxobject 4mo agoI suspect for consistency with ggplot - the same reason why ‘aes’ is shorthand and everyone forgets that it stands for “aesthetic”. https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/labs.html https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/labs.html
- matijsvzuijlen 4mo agoThanks, that makes sense. I actually just parsed aes as related to encryption without even considering how weird that was given the contect.
- nxobject 4mo agoI get it – in my (limited) opinion, there's a lot that's quirkily (but avoidably) named about ggplot and the surrounding R ecosystem in general.
- MoonZ 4mo agoJesters would say it's because author's a fan of labradors. (source: he's my neighbour)
