I plan to create an R package that extends and adds additional functionality to the "You Draw It" tool. To achieve my goal I will use an iterative workflow, and prioritize tasks based on size and importance. First, in June, I will package the "You Draw It" tool for flexible usage with any real or simulated one-to-one data set. I will slowly implement features, create tests, and write documentation for each feature. In July, my next task will be to add a feature to the "youdrawit" tool that will automatically set up scales based on the range of the provided data. This function will analyze the data and determine minimum and maximum values for each axis to set up the axes' scales. In August, to improve the user experience of the "You Draw It" tool, I will add tool tips to the shiny applet that will explain tasks and help educate users on using the tool. If I can complete these tasks during the 3-month timeline and have enough time, I will move on to the two additional optional tasks. Then, I will finalize all vignettes, documentation, and tests.
