The February 22, 2014 DFW R User Group presentation will survey the graphics capabilities in R.  The presentation covers

  • gnuplot (not part of R, but a useful graphics tool that everyone should know).
  • Basic R plot command
  • ggplot2 graphics package
  • lattice graphics package
  • rgl visualization package
  • qrencode for generating two dimensional bar codes (not part of R, but very helpful)
  • Imagemagick graphic file conversion utility (not part of R, but very helpful)

The emphasis will be on doing basic plots in each tool and then discussing which tool to use for a particular graphics task.

The presentation file is available at here. Because the presentation includes a lot of graphics, it is about 6M.
