Customizing Your Plots

This document discusses customizing plots in R. It shows how to create basic and fancy plots of mercury temperature and pressure data by adjusting graphical parameters like the x-label, y-label, plot title, point type, color, and font sizes. These parameters can be set globally using par() and for individual plots to customize appearances. A variety of plot types and symbols are demonstrated.
