This book introduces the fundamentals of designing presentation graphics using the open-source software R, which offers virtually limitless visualization possibilities and is increasingly establishing itself as a standard in the field of statistical software. Through 111 complete script examples, you will learn how to create bar and column charts, population pyramids, Lorenz curves, scatter plots, time series representations, radial polygons, Gantt charts, profile plots, heatmaps, bump charts, mosaic and balloon plots, as well as a variety of thematic map types using R's Base Graphics System. Each example uses real data, and the creation and programming of each graphic are explained step by step. This book serves as a valuable reference for a wide range of data visualization applications.
