Data Visualization And Stylish Graphs With R
Figures convey the core message of a scientific paper, thesis or report. Producing attractive and meaningful graphs is therefore half the battle of writing up your research. R is renowned for its superb graphical capabilities allowing quick and easy data visualisation. R has two hard-wired graphics systems: the traditional system and the grid graphics system, both of which provide full functionality.
