Data Visualization in R: Understanding ggplot2

This course was originally developed for Sandia National Labs as they were converting their production visualizations from Tableau to R for greater customizability.

It covers the following topics:

• understanding the grammar of graphics that ggplot2 implements
• mapping data to a visualization
• implementing different visual representations (e.g., bar chart, line plot, etc.)
• customizing labels and appearance of visualizations
• an example gallery demonstrating the abilities of ggplot2
• hands-on practice creating visualizations to answer specific questions
