Tufte in R

April 21, 2016 By editor

minimal line plot using ggplot2

Lukasz Piwek maintains a resource that shows how the visualization practices developed by Edward Tufte can be replicated in R.

His neat Tufte in R site currently contains examples of the following visualizations

  • minimal line plot
  • range-frame (or quartile-frame) scatterplot
  • dot-dash (or rug) scatterplot
  • minimal boxplot
  • minimal barchart
  • slopegraph
  • sparklines
  • stem-and-leaf display

It’s a living resource, so he’s adding to the collection over time.

Example code is given for R base graphics, lattice and ggplot2.
