Overview
In this talk we'll introduce the Grammar of Graphics, which allows you to compose graphs by combining independent components, and the implementation of this theory in R -- the ggplot2 package. We will describe the basics of building plots with ggplot2 and touch on a few approaches for customizing the plots. We will also highlight a few packages that are built to supplement ggplot2.
Key learnings include:
- Fundamentals of the theory of the Grammar of Graphics
- Basics of building plots with ggplot2, layer by layer
- Customising plots with functionality that comes with the ggplot2 package as well as supplemented by other packages.

In this talk we'll introduce the Grammar of Graphics, which allows you to compose graphs by combining independent components, and the implementation of this theory in R -- the ggplot2 package. We will describe the basics of building plots, introduce commonly used geoms and statistical functions used to calculate these geoms. We will also touch on customizing ggplot2 defaults such as themes and colours. Additionally, we will highlight a few packages that are built to supplement ggplot2 by adding features that ease highlighting and annotation as well as additional geoms.
