7.2 data VIsualIsatIon and ggplot2 package
An essential aspect of data science includes data Visualisation. You can represent such Visualisations as scatter plots,
box plots, bar charts, histograms, pie charts, etc.
Although we have functions to plot scatter plots, box plots, and time series plots in R, we can also plot them by
including a package named ggplot2. ggplot2 is a plotting package that simplifies the creation of complex plots from
data in a data frame. This package provides a more programmatic interface to specify what variables to plot, how they
should be displayed, and other general visual properties. Thus, one needs to make minimal changes if the underlying
data source changes and the Visualisation changes from scatter plot to bar plot.
ggplot2 is an R package used for statistical computing and data representation using Data Visualisation. It is based
on the "Grammar of Graphics," which consists of a set of rules and independent components that can be used to
represent data in a variety of formats.
ggplot2 is dedicated to data Visualisation. It can greatly improve the quality and aesthetics of your graphics, and will
make you much more efficient in creating them.
The ggplot2 package can be easily installed using the R function packages().
Make sure that you have already installed the package ggplot2 in R. Take care that the Internet is available. Otherwise,
go to the tool menu and click on the Install packages... option as shown below:
