This O’Reilly cookbook provides more than 150 recipes to help scientists, engineers, programmers, and data analysts generate high-quality graphs quickly—without having to comb through all the details of R’s graphing systems. Each recipe tackles a specific problem with a solution you can apply to your own project and includes a discussion of how and why the recipe works.
Most of the recipes in this second edition use the updated version of the ggplot2 package, a powerful and flexible way to make graphs in R. You’ll also find expanded content about the visual design of graphics. If you have at least a basic understanding of the R language, you’re ready to get started with this easy-to-use reference.
- Use R’s default graphics for quick exploration of data
- Create a variety of bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots
- Summarize data distributions with histograms, density curves, box plots, and more
- Provide annotations to help viewers interpret data
- Control the overall appearance of graphics
- Explore options for using colors in plots
- Create network graphs, heat maps, and 3D scatter plots
- Get your data into shape using packages from the tidyverse

"If you want to create great graphs using 'R' then this is the book you need. There are clear and easy to follow recipes for scatter plots, box plots, line graphs, bar graphs, histograms, function curves, dot plots, frequency polygons, heat maps, dendrograms, and many more - including a selection of 3D graphs. There are chapters on how to enhance your graphs - controlling axes, annotations, legends, etc. Also included is all the information you should need on how to manipulate your data.
Basic versions of each type are followed by step by guides on making more sophisticated versions. Using bar graphs as an example, the basic version is followed by instructions on how to group bars, use colours, make a stacked bar graph, adjust bar width and height, and so on.
I have had a copy of the first edition for several years so the fact that I've bought the second edition should give you an idea of how highly I rate it. The chapter headings of the 2nd ed are the same as the first and there are about 30 more pages, so the changes are not radical. For me I think it was worth upgrading but I don't know if it would be so for everyone."
