Visual Resume

Visual Resume Timeline

I came across this Github package by ndphillips and thought it was pretty cool and decided to make it even easier to setup. I really just wanted to play with it so here is my excuse.

Setup

Most people who have used R for a few weeks or months have probably already installed devtools. Just in case it isn’t already installed, simply uncomment line 18 to install for the first time

## Uncomment line 10 if you need to install "devtools"
#install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("ndphillips/VisualResume")

library(VisualResume)

Top Left

Fill in Name, Designator, Title and Company/Office Then direclty below that, choose the size of each font

## Top Left of Visual Resume
  titles_top_left = c("Mark Gingrass, MBA", ## Name, Designator
                  "Operations Researcher", ## Title
                  "FDA Office of Science / Regulatory Informatics") ## Company/Office
  ## Font sizes
  titles_top_left_font_sizes = c(4, ## Size of Name 
                      2, ## Size of Title
                      1) ## Size of Company/Office

Top Right

Fill in Personal Web Site, Email and Github url. Then directly below that, choose the size of each font.

  ## Top Right of Visual Resume
    titles_top_right = c("MarkGingrass.com", ## Personal Site
                     "mark.gingrass@gmail.com", ## Email
                     "github.com/mtgingrass") ## Github

    ## Font sizes
    titles_top_right_font_sizes = c(2, ## Size of Personal Site
                         2, ## Size of Email
                         1) ## Size of Github

Timeline Labels

The top and bottom of timeline labels.

timeline_top_label <- "Education"
timeline_bottom_lable <- "Career"

timeline_labels = c(timeline_top_label, timeline_bottom_lable)

Timeline Data

Although you can create a timeline from any data range, there is only a finite amount of screen real estate to display it. Technically, you can create a png file that can fit larger ranges and display only parts of it at a time on the screen. The choice is yours.

You can delete or add more entries - just follow the pattern. To add, simply cut and paste the last entry and add a new index value.

## Top and Bottom side of timeline placement
top_side = 1
bottom_side = 0

title_sub_start_end_side = list()

title_sub_start_end_side[[1]] <- (c("OK City Comm College",

Output PNG File

Due to the way I render and upload blogs, this will cause it to error on my end; however, if you should uncomment this chunk of code.

# png(filename = "VisualResume.png",
#     width = 1600, height = 800)
# 
#   VisualResume::VisualResume()
# 
# dev.off()
