Warm Up
Practice reading the following code as a sentence
mtcars: The data was extracted from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine, and comprises fuel consumption and 10 aspects of automobile design and performance for 32 automobiles (1973–74 models).
mtcars |>ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = wt)) +geom_point()Warm Up: Syle Guide
Based on the style guide, how can the code below be improved?
iris |>filter(Species == "setosa") |>ggplot(aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length))+ geom_point()Warm Up: Syle Guide
– + should always have a space before it, and should be followed by a new line
iris |>filter(Species == "setosa") |>ggplot(aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length)) +geom_point()ae-02
Recreate Graph
Recap of AE
– Construct plots with ggplot().
– Layers of ggplots are separated by +s.
– Aesthetic attributes of a geometries (color, size, transparency, etc.) can be mapped to variables in the data or set by the user.
– Use facet_wrap() when faceting (creating small multiples) by one variable and facet_grid() when faceting by two variables.
