Prepare

Due: January 16th

These sections will walk through how to plot data using ggplot()! The exercises are optional. We will practice with these functions in class together.

• Read:

  • R4DS: Chp 1 - Data visualization - Sections 1.1 through 1.4

Note: The following code used in the book

ggplot(
  data = penguins,
  mapping = aes(x = flipper_length_mm, y = body_mass_g)
)

Can be equally represented by the following

penguins |>
  ggplot(
  mapping = aes(x = flipper_length_mm, y = body_mass_g)
)

We showed this with the glimpse() function in-class, and practiced piping in data sets into a function on Tuesday. You may create data visualizations using either strategy. Whichever is more intuitive to you!
