Intermediate Data visualization with ggplot2
Intermediate Data visualization with ggplot2
This hands-on, participatory workshop is designed for those with basic R programming experience that are looking to take their data visualization skills to the next level. Join us to learn about making high-quality, reproducible data visualizations with R and ggplot2. Attendees will practice making different kinds of plots, modifying color scales, and styling plots to make publication-ready visualizations.
The workshop is open to anyone, but learners should be familiar with programming in R and ggplot2 equivalent to the Intro to R and RStudio and Data wrangling and visualization with R workshops.
Learning Outcomes:
- Be able to make various types of plots with ggplot2, including barplots, histograms, boxplots, and scatterplots.
- Learn to modify standard scales in ggplot2 and use various color palettes.
- Gain familiarity with different ways to highlight and annotate data within plots.
- Use ggplot2’s theming system to style plots in preparation for publication.
