This workshop is an active learning "code-along" overview of visualization using the popular R package 'ggplot2'.  This is an expansion and extension of the R plotting materials presented in Data Carpentry, based around principles of data visualization featured in Survival Skills 101: Data-driven Visualizations.
 

After this workshop, you should be able to use R's ggplot2 to:

• create multiple plot types that show both summaries and individual data points
• customize plot appearance for accessibility and efficiency (including changing font and line/point size and colors, adding summaries, and grouping categories)
• edit axis labels and legend titles and add annotations for clarity

Please bring a computer with R and RStudio (suggested) installed and R packages `ggplot2`, `RColorBrewer`, and `dplyr` installed.  Prior experience coding in R is required.  I.e., most of the code in chapters 1-4 in Data Carpentry with R should be familiar to you.  Complete novices to R should attend Data or Software Carpentry instead.  Attending Survival Skills 101: Data-driven Visualizations before this workshop will enhance your learning experience but is not required.  The curriculum and code from past workshops are available online at https://osf.io/dbp9t/

Zoom will provide for automated closed captions. This workshop is online only and will not have a hybrid in-person option, but it will be offered as an in-person-only workshop in Fall 2022.
