Hi @jangorecki!
A while ago I gave a
data.tablepresentation at work, and now I realize that some of the material in the .Rmd file for the slides possibly may be of some use during the preparation of this vignette.So far I have short text snippets, and in most cases visualizations, for the following topics:
Please let me know if this may be something you wish to have a look at. I'm happy to share. And of course: just feel free to ignore it.

@Henrik-P sure!

OK, thanks! I'm not a very skilled github user, so I will need to re-read the Contribution guidelines on how to share the .Rmd file the proper way ;)

@jangorecki A first draft of the .Rmd file is soon ready. Two questions of a more PR technical character: (1) Is it correct to assume that a
testis not relevant for a vignette? At least I could find one for e.g. New vignette -- Usages of .SD. (2) Should I create aNEWSentry despite this is, at least from my perspective, very much work in progress?Cheers

include=F) in Rmd. In those chunksstopifnot()'s, so whenever a code will not meet expectations defined there, the vignette will terminate and not be built, we will easily spot that. But this is not really that important.Please ensure you push to Rdatatable org repo, so it will be easy for others to push commits there.
