  63. Outline Introduction Data Structures Working with Data Visualisation Webapps Integration

    with other Systems Reading Data Transforming Data Live example More about the plyr module plyr is a very useful module for applying functions to different datastructures. The functions in plyr are of the form XYply where ’X’ is the Input datatype and ’Y’ is the Output datatype So as in the above example, the input datatype was a dataframe and the output datatype is a dataframe. The type and their letter designations are a - array d - data.frame l - list m - matrix - no output returned 63 / 124

This includes the mappings to the aesthetic attributes of a plot. Geom - Geometric objects or geoms represent what you actually see on the screen. This includes lines, splines, points, polygons etc. Stat - Statistical transformations. These are optional. Examples include binning in a histogram or summarising a 2D relationship with a linear model. 81 / 124

Scales draw axes and legends to represent what is seen on the screen to the actual underlying data. Coord - A coordinate sytems that provides a mapping from the data onto the screen. Examples include Cartesian coordinates, map coordinates and polar coordinates. Facet - A facet gives us a method to break un the data into subsets as well as display these on the screen. Great for increasing infomation density while graphing multidimensional data. 82 / 124
