Overview of this book

R is an open source language for data analysis and graphics that allows users to load various packages for effective and better data interpretation. Its popularity has soared in recent years because of its powerful capabilities when it comes to turning different kinds of data into intuitive visualization solutions. This book is an update to our earlier R data visualization cookbook with 100 percent fresh content and covering all the cutting edge R data visualization tools. This book is packed with practical recipes, designed to provide you with all the guidance needed to get to grips with data visualization using R. It starts off with the basics of ggplot2, ggvis, and plotly visualization packages, along with an introduction to creating maps and customizing them, before progressively taking you through various ggplot2 extensions, such as ggforce, ggrepel, and gganimate. Using real-world datasets, you will analyze and visualize your data as histograms, bar graphs, and scatterplots, and customize your plots with various themes and coloring options. The book also covers advanced visualization aspects such as creating interactive dashboards using Shiny By the end of the book, you will be equipped with key techniques to create impressive data visualizations with professional efficiency and precision.

Drawing facets using plotly


By its version 0.4.3, ggvis did not support facets, but at the same time, plotly  kind did. As the current chapter had stressed, plotly is able to coerce several ggplot facets properly. This recipe will show you how plotly can be used to brew facets from scratch using subplot() function. Drawing nice facets from scratch using plotly is not an easy task. Also, facets breed this way can be seem more as embed graphs though. It's very code-demanding and lots of data manipulation may be required. Yet there is this possibility and some nuts and bolts to go through. Plotting separated titles is very tricky as this example shows.

This recipe will adopt the Titanic context and handle a simple comparison between child and adult survivals, similar to the plot displayed by the recipe, Creating a faceted bar graph.
