We are very happy to introduce the R package sketch for creating animated and interactive visualisation in R! Sketch lets users develop JavaScript-style visualisations using the R syntax by transpiling R code into JavaScript code. It is designed to help

• researchers create domain specific visualisation to support development and sharing of research,
• journalists and science communicators publish high-quality and engaging interactive graphics,
• business users make customised in-house dashboards and reports, and
• general users learn generative arts and interactive data visualisation.

Sketch works with any JavaScript library (including d3, p5, vegalite, threejs and leaflet), integrates with R Markdown document and Shiny for easy deployment, and supports a wide range of customisation options.

We are grateful that this project is supported by the R Consortium ISC grant, and sketch is now available on CRAN (stable version) and on GitHub (development version).
