1. 1 Welcome to ggplot2 ggplot2 is an R package for producing
statistical, or data, graphics, but it is unlike most other graphics
packages because it has a deep underlying grammar. This grammar, based
on the Grammar of Graphics (Wilkinson, 2005), is composed of a set of
independent components that can be composed in many di?erent ways.
This makesggplot2 very powerful, because you are not limited to a set
of pre-speci?ed graphics, but you can create new graphics that are
precisely tailored for your problem. This may sound overwhelming, but
because there is a simple set of core principles and very few special
cases, ggplot2 is also easy to learn (although it may take a little
time to forget your preconceptions from other graphics tools).
Practically,ggplot2 provides beautiful, hassle-free plots, that take
care of ?ddly details like drawing legends. The plots can be built up
iteratively and edited later. A carefully chosen set of defaults means
that most of the time you can produce a publication-quality graphic in
seconds, but if you do have special formatting requirements, a
comprehensive theming system makes it easy to do what you want.
Instead of spending time making your graph look pretty, you can focus
on creating a graph that best reveals the messages in your data.
