This book describes ggplot2, a new data visualization package for R that uses the insights from Leland Wilkison''s Grammar of Graphics to create a powerful and flexible system for creating data graphics. With ggplot2, it''s easy to:
* produce handsome, publication-quality plots, with automatic legends created from the plot specification
* superpose multiple layers (points, lines, maps, tiles, box plots to name a few) from different data sources, with automatically adjusted common scales
* add customisable smoothers that use the powerful modelling capabilities of R, such as loess, linear models, generalised additive models and robust regression
* save any ggplot2 plot (or part thereof) for later modification or reuse
* create custom themes that capture in-house or journal style requirements, and that can easily be applied to multiple plots
* approach your graph from a visual perspective, thinking about how each component of the data is represented on the final plot.
This book will be useful to everyone who has struggled with displaying their data in an informative and attractive way. You will need some basic knowledge of R (i.e. you should be able to get your data into R), but 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.
Hadley Wickham,RStudio首席科学家,美国莱斯大学统计学助理教授,毕业于爱荷华州立大学统计系。Hadley是R社区最活跃的人之一,代码风格独树一帜,致力于开发用于数据处理、分析、成像的工具,截至2012年已经开发了超过30个高质量的R软件包,比如ggplot2, lubridate,plyr, reshape2, stringr, httr等。
这本书(第二版)主要有三部分: Part I: Getting Started,相当于Introduction,简单介绍ggplot2可以干哪些事; Part II: The Grammar,全书的精华,详细介绍了ggplot2背后的原理; Part III: Data Analysis,这部分在第三版中已经删了; 所以说如果稍微接触过ggplot2的话可以...
评分The core of the ggplot2 is the graph model, which lattice is lack of. When I use the xyplot in the lattice, if some changes are needed, I need to delete the original parameter settings or copy the code to make a new one. But in ggplot2, after getting a or...
评分很适合R语言的初学者,书中有大量的例子,也可以下载带源代码。将ggplot2的基本原理和操作讲解的还是很清楚的。真是佩服大神Hadley Wickham, 长的帅(耳钉很漂亮),将R的可操作性提高了一大截。但要想学好R的画图,光着一本是远远不够的。

评分我读晚了。 网上有很多关于ggplot2的教程,大多不够系统,有很多原理上的东西没讲清楚。不知道原理的后果就是每次要做不太一样的图的时候,就要GOOGLE具体的图怎么画,因为不能理解图的生成过程和图的组成部件。这本书是ggplot的最初的开发者写的,不仅用很多例子讲了怎么用gg...
ggplot2还有这书都太实用了!
评分内容有点陈旧
评分被学ai的人安利,R语言做出来的数据可视化很漂亮哒!同类软件中,matlab能解决很复杂的问题,出图有锯齿,gh能做出很眩的效果来,接口不友好,ggplot2原理就简单多啦,不需要语言基础,处理一般的数据,色彩丰富,有线条感。/感谢八月工
评分grammar of graphics × elegance of graphics √ 感谢统计之都的各位前辈对社区的贡献。
评分恰到好处的介绍
