Data visualization with R and ggplot2 - part 2

This week, we will continue working together to create graphics using R's ggplot2 library.

• Follow along with the R visualization - ggplot2 page.
• We'll also work through the ggplot protein abundance tutorial

Lecture Resources:

• Lecture Recording

Homework:

1. Work through this tutorial on manipulating data with dplyr. It was optional way back in week 6, but it'll be very useful now that we're talking about ggplot.

2. Follow the instructions at the end and use ggplot to make a beautiful figure demonstrating an interesting relationship in these fictional starwars species (height/mass/sex might be good places to start). Remember axis labels, legends, themes, and other things that we talked about! For-credit students, please send your figure to John Garza.
