Carpentries @ Stanford: Data Visualization in R

Sponsored by

This event is over.

Event Details:

This workshop is a gentle introduction to working with the ggplot2 visualization library in R for those who have moderate programming experience in R. If you know how to work with datasets (variables, matrices, dataframes) and functions in R, but you have never created figures beyond maybe a few base R visualizations (using the plot, hist, barplot functions), then this class is a good fit for you! For a more foundational introduction to R, consider attending Introduction to R (an in-person event) on October 10, 2024. By the end of this workshop, you will have learned the syntax of ggplot2, how to modify and customize graph aesthetics, how to generate 1D and 2D plots, and how to save your figures to your computer. Time permitting, we will explore a few extra features such as faceting, custom colors, and themes!

Register here to attend. This workshop is open exclusively to current Stanford affiliates, and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited, and a waitlist will be available once spots are filled. (Please note: You must be logged in to Google Drive with your SUNet ID to access the registration form.)
