Data Visualization With Ggplot2 PDF

This document introduces ggplot2, a data visualization package in R. It discusses that the tutorial will focus on using ggplot2 to visualize an H1B visa dataset. It explains that ggplot2 uses a grammar of data, layers, scales, coordinates, faceting, and themes to create visualizations. Each ggplot2 graph has three core components - data, aesthetics to map the data, and at least one layer to render the visualization. The document recommends Hadley Wickham's book as a resource for learning ggplot2. It concludes by inviting questions.

The Data

Why this dataset?


• Everyone is familiar with the problem domain.
• It is a good proxy for common business data – for example,
customer profile data.

The Data
• H1B data from U.S. Department of Labor for 2018.

ggplot2
• Standard visualization package in R

• Designed for print-quality graphics


in seconds.

• Fine-grained control via an API for


layering graphical elements to build
visualizations.

The Grammar
Every visualization in ggplot2 is composed of the following:
▪ Data – The raw material of your visualization.
▪ Layers – What you see on the plots (e.g., points, lines etc.).
▪ Scales – Maps the data to graphical output
▪ Coordinates – The visualization’s perspective (e.g., a grid).
▪ Faceting – Provides “visual drill-down’ into the data.
▪ Themes – Controls the details of the display (e.g., fonts).

Working with the Grammar


While ggplot2 is designed with a rich grammar, using ggplot2 in
practice is quite simple. Each ggplot2 visualization has three
required components:
▪ Data – The raw material of your visualization.

▪ Aesthetics – The mappings of your data to the visualization.

▪ Layers – A visualization requires at least once layer to render the data and aesthetics
to the screen. These layers typically take the form of a ggplot2 geom function – for
example, a simple scatter plot.
