With ggplot2, it's easy to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eproduce handsome, publication-quality plots with automatic legends created from the plot specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esuperimpose multiple layers (points, lines, maps, tiles, box plots) from different data sources with automatically adjusted common scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadd customizable smoothers that use powerful modeling capabilities of R, such as loess, linear models, generalized additive models, and robust regression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esave any ggplot2 plot (or part thereof) for later modification or reuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecreate custom themes that capture in-house or journal style requirements and that can easily be applied to multiple plots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eapproach a graph from a visual perspective, thinking about how eachcomponent of the data is represented on the final plot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be useful to everyone who has struggled with displaying data in an informative and attractive way. Some basic knowledge of R is necessary (e.g., importing data into R). ggplot2 is a mini-language specifically tailored for producing graphics, and you'll learn everything you need in the book. After reading this book you'll be able to produce graphics customized precisely for your problems, and you'll find it easy to get graphics out of your head and on to the screen or page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHadley Wickham\u003c\/b\u003e is Chief Scientist at RStudio and Assistant Professor of Statistics at Rice University.
