ggplot2是R中新颖的数据可视化包,这得益于Leland Wilkinson在他的著作《The Grammar of Graphics》中提出了一套图形语法,把图形元素抽象成可以自由组合的成分,Hadley Wickham把这套想法在R中实现。 1. How to use qplot 函数qplot()是ggplot2中十分常用的函数,使用它可以绘制丰富多彩的图形,并且通常只需要一行代码可...
在上面的例子中,各种属性映射由ggplot函数执行,只需要加一个图层,使用geom_point()告诉ggplot要画散点,于是所有的属性都映射到散点上。 geom_point()完成的就是几何对象的映射,ggplot2提供了各种几何对象映射,如geom_histogram用于直方图,geom_bar用于画柱状图,geom_boxplot用于画箱式图等等。 不同的几何对象,要求的...

Key R functions and packages: map_data() [in ggplot2] to retrieve the map data. Require themapspackage. geom_polygon() [in ggplot2] to create the map We’ll use the viridis package to set the color palette of the choropleth map. ...
A quick review of ggplot2 syntax Creating small multiple charts is surprisingly easy in ggplot2, once you understand the syntax. Here, I’m going to quickly reviewthe syntax of ggplot2, and then I’ll explain how to use facet_wrap. ...
In this post, we will learn how to draw a line connecting the mean (or median) values in a boxplot in R using ggplot2. Connecting mean or median values in each group i.e. each box in boxplot can help easily see the pattern across different groups. The ba
