library("tidyverse")
I want to create and visualize a simple data set for my Data Science courses (that I teach in California).
Data Source
- University of California
- Agriculture and Natural Resources
- Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program

Fixed-Width Files
Today I learned how to read fixed-width files
in the Tidyverse. From there, I simply need to give the columns easy-to-use names.
<- readr::read_fwf("SF_2021.txt") SF_df
Rows: 365 Columns: 7
── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
chr (3): X1, X4, X7
dbl (3): X3, X5, X6
time (1): X2
ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.
colnames(SF_df) <- c("date", "time", "precipitation",
"check1", "high", "low", "check2")
