R is an open source
language for data analysis and graphics. It is platform-independent and
allows users to load various packages and develop their own to interpret
data better. This video is packed with practical recipes, designed to
provide you with all the guidance needed to get to grips with data
visualization with R.
We start off with the
basics of R plots and an introduction to heat maps and customizing them.
After this, we gradually take you through creating interactive maps
using the googleVis package. Finally, we generate chloropleth maps and
contouring maps, bubble plots, and pie charts
