R Graphics Cookbook: Practical Recipes for Visualizing Data

I don't know where I'd be without this book. It's guided me along the path of analytics through the first three months of my new job. Before this book I was searching frantically on Google for "how do I... in ggplot" or "how do I make a bar chart do..." or "how do I reorder...", but now everything's in one place. The authors did a great job keeping things simple. Just right for someone starting off.

This book provides all sorts of very useful recipes and techniques. It is quite thorough and well organized. I refer to it regularly and recommend others consider using it also. One my better R related investments, no doubt.

Great book if you’re just starting with R. It’s easy to understand and there are lots of code lines to assist you.Here’s the thing. You can get the book for free on the internet. Nothing illegal.

Great technical book and extremely well written. In fact it is one of the best in that regard and I have read a ton of them. This is my Bible of R Graphics.One knock would be that there could be exercise included in the book.

Covers everything that 99% of R for graphics users may possibly need. Shows colored output of all the functions. Book is structured around "needs" and "issues" that may arise when using R for graphics, rather than based on chapters like a classic study book.

I like the format and it’s easy to follow. The very big downside is that a lot of my data is in a tree structure. This book has no Sankey, icicles, or sun bursts. It has directed nodes, but not explicitly for trees. It does have dendrograms though, so there’s that. I think this book will streamline my visualization projects considerably.

Good reference book

very good book

Sehr gutes Buch. Verwende ich als Nachschlagewerk - man sollte Base-R aber schon gut können.
