ggplot2 is an R package has become the go-to tool for flexible and professional plots in R. Its grammar is based on the Grammar of Graphics (Wilkinson, 2005), which is composed of a set of independent components that can be composed in many ways. This hands-on workshop introduces the principles and the grammar of graphics plotting concepts implemented in the ggplot2 packages. We will examine the first three essential layers: Data, Aesthetics and Geometrics for making a plot. The optional four layers will be discussed if time permits.
Registration is free and open to all University of Waterloo faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students.
