ποΈ Week 02 β Day 04: (Interactive Dashboards) Plotting practice
Come up with your own plots!
Todayβs session has been adjusted to cater to your specific requirements. Instead of introducing new packages like shiny
and htmlwidgets
, we will focus on honing your plotting skills using ggplot2
. It is crucial to develop a strong foundation in plotting, gaining familiarity with various plot types, customization options, and the art of combining plots. This will pave the way for creating interactive dashboards in the future.
During todayβs session, you will:
- Engage in more hands-on practice with
ggplot2
- Explore the combination of different geoms within a single plot
- Customise plots using techniques such as
scale_*
,theme_*
, andlabs
- β Practice asking the right questions of your data and selecting the appropriate plot to answer those questions
- β Practice crafting a cohesive narrative through a report that incorporates multiple plots
If you have any specific queries or areas of interest, please feel free to let me know. Additionally, if you require assistance in combining multiple plots into a unified display, I can provide examples using techniques such as facet_grid
and facet_wrap
.
