GGPLOT: Creating Graphics
Logically
Amit Gal
Graphics in base R
Easy to create, and they look ok.
C
Class sensitive commands
Everything can be adjusted through parameters
C
But sometimes hard to find the right ones
C
Require lots of trial-error, no easy patterns.
Graphs are not R objects
C
Cumbersome handling of devices
C
Hard to manage, save, update, reproduce...
Meet GGPLOT
The promise of a grammar for graphics
graphs are standard R objects
C
Graphs are composed of layers
C
Easy to manage, save, etc.
Easy to add stuff to existing graphs
Provides a separation between content and visualization
strategy
C
Enables creation of reproducible visualization patterns.
Why grammar?
Grammars are generative systems C they provide means (e.g. rules,
patterns, etc.) for constructing meaningful graphics from building blocks
If you think of a graphic as a message (and you should!), grammars are
way to distinguish between well formed sentences and those that are
not so well formed.
C
Abstraction of the visualization process
C
Also, grammar as a syntax serves as a basis for a semantic system.
After all, you want your graphics to be meaningful!
How we get from data to graphs
WYSIWYG vs. WYMIWYG
C
A useful metaphor: Latex vs. Word for creating scientific documents
Basic elements of the grammar
A graph is a mapping from
data-space to visual-space
(Hadley Wickham)
An example: a simple
scatterplot
C
Wt is mapped to the x axis
C
Mpg is mapped to the y
axis
C
Cyl is mapped to the color
property
