Built for EC Workshop March 2022 Soren Struckman
If you are participating in the workshop, you may either (a) work on the ggplot-workshop-TEMPLATE.Rmd, which leaves space for participants to type code with instruction, or (b) follow along along in the ggplot-workshop-KEY.Rmd, which has all of the information and code we will be working with. Download the ggplot-workshop-KEY.html for a knitted (and much easier to read) version of the KEY.
Outline
- Brief Reminder: How do we use the tidyverse?
- Overview of the "grammar of graphics" philosophy behind ggplot
- What is ggplot? - Useful functions and concepts for making publication-quality figures
- Making multi-panel figures with
patchwork - Some tips for saving plots to disk
- Bonus: intro to plotting spatial data with
sf
All dragon data is from the DALEX package. Bonus sf content also uses EPA air quality data, wrangled by Ellie Smith-Eskridge and Dakoeta Pinto.
We'll be wrangling and plotting data for a subset of chromatic dragons:
| Common name | Scientific name |
|---|---|
| Common black | Jaggermeryx ozzyi |
| Scaley longtail | Jaggermeryx whido |
| Sharptoothed flier | Jaggermeryx strummeri |
| Fiery blue | Sauroniops naida |
| Four-toed scale-back | Sauroniops reike |
The code and materials in this repository are adapted from and heavily inspired by those compiled by Britta Schumacher and Simona Picardi.
