In Detail
ggplot2 is likely one of the such a lot subtle and complicated programs of R and its use is consistently becoming in the neighborhood of R programmers. This e-book is the fitting place to begin on your trip in studying approximately probably the most sophisticated and time-honored plotting tools―ggplot2.
You will begin by way of taking a journey of the main appropriate applications on hand in R to create plots, resembling photographs, lattice, and ggplot2. Following this, you are going to take a deep dive into the ideas of ggplot2 via overlaying other kinds of plots that can assist you equipment up on your first hands-on venture. After this primary style of the services of ggplot2, you'll discover intimately the visualization process applied during this package deal, the so-called grammar of photographs, giving you the fundamentals to appreciate the behind the curtain strategies within the plotting features. eventually, you are going to seriously look into a few really expert and complex functions of ggplot2, equivalent to easy methods to become aware of a fancy scatterplot matrix, heatmaps, and the way to make spatial visualization graphs.

The ggplot()function, on the other hand, is a much more advanced function that allows the user to have more control of the plot layout and details. In our journey into the world of ggplot2, we will see some examples of qplot(), in particular when we go through the different kinds of graphs, but we will dig a lot deeper into ggplot() since this last function is more suited to advanced examples. If you have a look at the different forums based on R programming, there is quite a bit of discussion as to which of these two functions would be more convenient to use.
Abline(v=median(x), col="red")}) The preceding code results in the following output: To plot the graph using ggplot2, use the following code: qplot(circumference, data=Orange, geom="histogram")+geom_vline(xintercept = median(Orange$circumference), colour="red") The preceding code results in the following output: ggplot2 and the grammar of graphics The ggplot2 package was developed by Hadley Wickham by implementing a completely different approach to statistical plots. As is the case with lattice, this package is also based on grid, providing a series of high-level functions that allow the creation of complete plots.
For simple and basic plots, where the data simply needs to be represented in a standard plot type (such as a scatter plot, histogram, or boxplot) without any additional manipulation, then all the plotting environments are fairly equivalent. In fact, it would probably be possible to produce the same type of plot with graphics as well as with lattice or ggplot2. Nevertheless, in general, the default graphic output of ggplot2 or lattice will be most likely superior compared to graphics since both these packages are designed considering the principles of human perception deeply and to make the evaluation of data contained in plots easier.
